QUIET Power
Town & Country US|December 2022 - January 2023
Her beauty was symmetrical and severe. The camera loved her. But what made Greta Garbo a legend was her elusiveness.
Lesley M.M. Blume
QUIET Power

She rarely granted interviews, refused to attend her movies’ premieres, and famously declared that she wanted to be alone. Her nickname: the Swedish Sphinx.

The Garbo enigma seemed to work as an intoxicant on the public. Since little about human nature ever seems to change, such cultivated mystery likely still has the power to generate desire—yet it’s somehow undervalued today. Ubiquity, not mystique, is the name of the current game. The result is overexposure in the extreme.
