Who can make sense of Greta Garbo?
She was born Swedish and became a movie star at home before she also found cinematic glory in America?
But did she become truly American?

True that.
I miss him & I hope he is well.
All I can say is the following......
You are only a visitor, subject to recall at any moment. You are no more than a speck of dust within the scope of time, space and eternity. All granted by the good grace of your creator.
I just thought that since all of your postings of articles link back to a single site, where at the top of the site there’s a request for money it has all the appearances of someone shilling for their own site in hopes of making money. WHILE THAT IS THE AMERICAN WAY, I believe we who populate the FreeRepublic, and have done so for many years, see you as someone looking to make money in the name of political posts. Donors here, if they choose to, should be loyal to JimRob.
there is no such request for money that i know of
you are lying
i agree that Free Republic is a solicitation free site
it is also an honest site

That's a direct copy / paste.
“...she spent her post-Hollywood days in New York City...”
I think if you are really world famous, NYC is probably the best place to live. Or was, don’t be moving there right now, I don’t care how famous or rich you are!
I stand corrected. I apologise for calling you a liar.
Wordpress asks people to help me.
It is not a direct solicitation by me.
Many sites which FR links to have adverting and other different ways of asking for help.
Don’t forget, Wallace Beery.
I never asked Wordpress to make that request.
Thank you for that.
Wallace Beery - Gloria Swansons husband, even in early Hollywood marriages were short.
So strange to see him play a German industrialist.
I thought Pet Zealot was the only personal blog allowed to be posted here?
It was laughed

From New Yorker bio: “In 1941, at the age of thirty-six, Greta Garbo, one of the biggest box-office draws in the world, stopped acting and, though she lived for half a century more, never made another film. For a star who, more than any other, “invaded the subconscious of the audience,” as Robert Gottlieb writes in his new biography, “Garbo” (Farrar, Straus & Giroux), this was an abdication, a privilege of monarchical proportions. But it was also a decision made by one particular, peculiar person who had never been temperamentally suited to celebrity in the first place.
I recall that she was especially giving in the most positive sense (free dinners, cheesecake at Lindy’s etc.,) to military passing through New York City during the Korean War.
Top of the page……like this site? Gift the author. Is that a lie?
Stories on Garbo, Hobson, Chaplin, Windsor, Lynn, Jefferson, Cannon, Cumming, Campbell, Pickford, Tallchief, Satyagraha, Aquitaine, Paglia, all link to the same website and at the top of each page there’s a link that asks, if you like the author……you have four days left…..open the link and there a request for money.
Now, you can call me a liar all you’d like, but when the same poster (you) posts a link to the same website from March 31 to April 15 and there are at least 14 stories linked to the same website, where at the top of the website there’s a request for money, that seems like you are shilling for money for the website.
