Little Girl

Sothbey's offers a collection of early Greta Garbo postcards and photographs owned by Garbo's childhood friend, Lisa Fager. The lot to be auctioned in London on July 17th.

It includes:

I) a collection of fifteen photographs of Greta Garbo (Gustaffson), her classmates and 'Aunt Gustafsson', chiefly original prints, one of the portraits the only print to survive from the six copies which Garbo herself ordered from a professional photographer but then tore up, ranging in size from a small passport-size portrait of her in 1918 to large school class photographs of c.165 x 230mm. (plus mounts), chiefly c.1915-1930, traces of mounting

II) an early autograph postcard signed G.G. by Garbo (Greta Gustafsson), sending greetings in Swedish, written in pencil, with a mock-postage stamp also drawn in pencil [literal translation:] "May the sun of joy [shine] its rays in such a way upon you on your celebration day, may happiness not stray from you I wish that out of my heart" Garbo delivered this card herself after school through Lisa Fager's letterbox.

III) an autograph four-line note signed by Garbo (G.G.), in Swedish, written in ink on a magazine illustration [literal translation:] "...Hanne how sweet I think you are. I have seen you so many times and all equally enchanting..."

iv) two autograph postcards written to Lisa Fager by Greta Garbo's brother Sven Gustafsson, in Swedish, sending greetings from a festive Paris and from London, 1928-1930 Some of this material is illustrated in John Wallin's book Garbo: En stjärnas väg (Stockholm, 1955), a copy of which is included in the lot.

TCM To Spotlight Gay Pride Month

In celebration of June's Gay Pride Month, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) will present Screened Out: Gay Images in Film, a month-long, on-air film presentation of the varied concepts, stereotypes and imagery of gays & lesbians as represented in classic Hollywood cinema. 

Queen Christina (1933) also ran into censor difficulties, but these were over its portrayal of the queen's fictitious heterosexual romance; the more authentic love affair between the queen (Greta Garbo) and Countess Ebba (Elizabeth Young) was allowed to remain.

" Good morning Ebba!"

They will screen Garbo's Queen Christina on Wednesday, June 6 at 1:00 AM. More info  HERE!

"New" Joyless Street DVD!

Most fans didn't even notice but a "new" DVD release of this German masterpiece. It was released by Synergy Video, sometime in autumn of 2007 but do not get nervous, its just the 90 minutes (the 1981 French release) butchered version. But it's better than nothing, i think.
