It was hard to take Orson Welles seriously UNTIL you watch the Garbo commercial.

Seeing that commercial, and then looking at her after she became a big star, shows just how much a team of experts in makeup, hair, lighting and costuming can do to transform a person.

- Orson said it.
- I believe it.
- That settles it.

Some of my favorite Orson Welles performances was him trying to do Paul Masson wine commercials while completely sloshed.

James Mason’s commercial for Thunderbird wine put Orson’s pitch to shame.

I never got the adoration for Garbo. I guess I just like the girl next door type better. Mary Pickford, Mary Ann...

In Australia, I found it refreshing that new-readers did not wear make-up.
To: marktwain
new-readers should be “news-readers”.

I dunno, PJ - her first big role was in “The Saga of Gösta Berling” from 1924, when she was 19, and she was no cow in that.
The commercial we saw was done when she was a few years younger; there is another on I’ve seen done around the same time where she looks positively dowdy.

I dunno, PJ - her first big role was in “The Saga of Gösta Berling” from 1924, when she was 19, and she was no cow in that. And, as Orson Welles said, that was two years LATER (after the commercial) and "she was Greta Garbo."
