Greta Garbo - Fourth of 5 Postings

"The New Movie Magazine" was published by Tower Publishing for direct sale through the F.W. Woolworth chain of five and ten cent stores. As near as I can tell, the publication had about a seven year run, but if anyone knows definitively, let me know. "The New Movie Album" was their annual issue and featured approximately 60 stars for a given year. The album seen here, featuring Garbo on the cover, is from 1930.

The New Movie Album, 1930 - Cover Artist: Signed, but I can't find any reference.

Garbo appears on page 32 and we are given a brief bio, as was the case for all the stars included in the album.

The back cover of this album is an ad for the magazine and certainly holds a high opinion of itself.

Now the images and quotes.

I live like a monk: with one toothbrush, one cake of soap, and a pot of cream.

I don't want to be a silly temptress. I cannot see any sense in getting dressed up and doing nothing but tempting men in pictures.

The story of my life is about back entrances, side doors, secret elevators and other ways of getting in and out of places so that people won't bother me.

There are many things in your heart you can never tell to another person. They are you, your private joys and sorrows, and you can never tell them. You cheapen yourself, the inside of yourself, when you tell them.

You don't have to be married to have a good friend as your partner for life.

Greta Garbo - What do you think - Allure?
