When asked in her later years by a fan if she is Greta Garbo, she replied, "I was Greta Garbo."
A note here: The 25 postcards shown in this series represent less than half the Greta Garbo cards produced.
These next two images are from the book "The Man Who Shot Garbo - The Hollywood Photographs of Clarence Sinclair Bull.", released by Simon and Schuster in 1989. There are over 180 photographs of the major stars of the twenties, thirties and forties (Bull was the head of MGM's stills department for nearly forty years). If you are a fan of the era, or of just good portrait photography, I recommend you locate a copy for yourself. I got mine from Alibris at a very good price.

That second shot, the one of her bare shoulder, is simply one of the most perfect expressions of feminine beauty.
So yeah... allure would be a good way to put it.
I've loved this whole series of posts with her, AND yes she definitely had allure :)
