She was Nordic through and through but she knew if she wanted to be free from financial burden she would have to swallow her pride and go back to the 'factory'. She was a big movie star at this point but she later became even bigger. Maybe she knew she would never come back. Her whole family left Sweden to America in the end.
Ah.. poor lady! Leaving her native land to return to the superficial town of Hollywood, where she had to earn a living. Home is always home. Never mind, dear lady. Soon you will have the means to retire and travel wherever you wish. Rest in peace now and God bless.
I'm so sad for her. You know she was damned if she stayed in Sweden and maybe live a poor life or live in America have money, Then be trailed all over the place. But she was smart. She invested wisely so if she wanted to stop acting she could. VERY SMART. You know I wonder if some idiot said "They will not want you when you are old". I know later she did a screen test in 1949 I believe and there was that other film that never happened, It just seemed SOMETHING was said. God Bless her. I hope she's at peace and walk the streets in peace.
Greta's tears come from her heart: her home, her land was Sweden, Sodermalm, Blekinge, Gotgatan, the countryside...but she had to ho back to USA, where her job was, which gave her the financial independence to secure a comfortable life. An artist , too, of course: thanks to her gift she survived as an actress when many had to quit. Lovely creature❤
Garbo at sea; the Swedish port seen/scene in the background of the departure shot is marvelous. I would have enjoyed being with her that day on board for New York.
Greta loved Sweden very much , especially since she was leaving for the unknown !The only strange thing is that she did not return to Sweden afterwards . Thank you so much for this video !
I love the hats the women wore back then.
They should bring those back.
Love Garbo since very long long time ago and this is a very touching video and u can tell she was so sad to leave her country and family

After the Hollywood Years, she did travel back to Sweden every summer. She even had a “Summer Cottage” there.
Absolutely beautiful even when crying! What a sweet, sweet woman is Greta Garbo!!!

Greta Garbo had so much acting talent.
Hollywood wanted her back _badly!_
She didn't belong to Sweden.
She belonged to the world.
Wonderful. Thank you for posting.
Her mother. Sister and her country. Lovely.
Her sister died in 1926.
Greta amaba Suecia 🌹 y le fue difícil al comienzo instalarse en Hollywood
Спасибо большое за любимую Гарбо❤
What’s the title of the background music?
its the music for the dying swan (ballet)
Helt underbar 🌹🇸🇪
👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
I think Greta had just lost her sister some months earlier in Sweden. Louis B Mayer wouldn’t let her go to her family. Nice guy!
A true Viking
He sure was.
She was most reluctant to go back to Hollywood.
One wonders why she ended up in NYC. Perhaps because the chance of at least occasional anonymity.
The view from her NY apartment reminded her of Gothenburg or maybe Stockholm
New York offers anonymity; and doormen.
You belong to us now. That's just the way it is.
ok that was kinda creepy
You can have him.
love her
Poor Garbo.
You can have everything - and nothing.
Garbo is Sweden, and Sweden is Garbo.
