Greta Garbo

The silent film star Greta Garbo reigned the film industry from the 1920s to 1940s. She is among the best actresses during that time, but her personality and lifestyle prohibit her from becoming a fan favorite. Known as a very mysterious woman, Garbo has led a single life – never married nor had any children. Garbo is not a fan of big socializations and publicity events and hates getting plagued by the media.

Stating that since she was a child, she always wanted to be alone and hate big crowds – many took it as a cue of her lifestyle choice. Although Garbo has lived in solidarity, the star had a handful of romances to her credit. She once dated the actor John Gilbert during the start of her career. Gilbert even proposed to her several times, but it didn’t push through as she feared being bossed around. There are also counts that Garbo might be into women, which was one of the reasons she did not marry. According to reports, Garbo had a few dalliances with women, including Mercedes de Acosta and Mimi Pollack.
