I have no words for her beauty.

you know what I ‘miss’ the most about the Old Hollywood?

The close-ups.

No one does them today and I can’t afghjdsklfkjghaj properly when I see a beautiful actor or actress, since they aren’t filmed that way anymore.

HEY GARBO FANS

I need your help! As I am not really Greta-obsessed, I need your advice, and preferably some links/photos/videos/articles on how Greta influenced the silent cinema and vice versa. I mean, I need to make a presentation on her and her part in the silent cinema. As I know really not that much about her, I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!
