Wow. I also known a little known fact about Greta Garbo, although maybe you know. When she left the movie business, years after, she was having a liaison with a married man, and it seems that his wife knew it and was ok with that (ops). They both went to an hotel in Italy, and one morning, when she woke up, she realized the man who was staying beside her on the bed was dead. He had suffered a heart attack during his sleep. She became frantic, she was afraid of the press, of the scandal, her with a married man. So she left the hotel for good and run away. Later on probably she arranged or fixed the problem because I have never read on the press such thing. But it is in her biography.

That must be a very closely guarded secret - I couldn't find anything about it. I'm sure it happened, she wouldn't allow it to be published if it was a lie. How crazy!
