Greta Garbo was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1905. She started off as a soap lathering girl in a barbershop before getting into acting, and moving to Hollywood in 1925. Despite becoming one of the worlds most successful film stars, Greta was a bit of a loner and avoided publicity, interviews and fans. She never got married, had no children and lived alone. The glamorous and iconic actress retired at the young age of 36.
