Loving Garbo · the Story of Greta Garbo,Cecil Beaton and Mercedes De Acosta

Greta Garbo's enduring legend derives from her incandescent performances as a woman in love in such classics as *Camille* , *Queen* *Christina* and *Grand Hotel*. For half a century her apparently reclusive existence enhanced her reputation as a remote and enigmatic screen goddess.

Now, in this beautifully illustrated book, Hugo Vickers tells the remarkable story of Greta Garbo and of the two love affairs that dominated her life: with Cecil Beaton and the notorious Mercedes de Acosta. It is a highly revealing portait of an exotic world - at its centre, an enthrallign and demanding star who gave little in return.
