Greta Garbo | Salesperson
Swedish actress Greta Garbo was noteworthy for her sad and unhappy persona in her many portrayals of a tragic character in film credits. She was ranked 5th on the list of greatest female celebrity stars of classic Hollywood cinema by the American Film Institute in 1999. Garbo started her career with a secondary role in The Saga of Gosta Berling, a Swedish film, in 1924. More importantly, Garbo experienced the hardships of the time and still prevailed in proving her worth to everyone.
Following that movie, her performance caught the attention of the chief executive of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), Louis B. Mayer, and brought her to Hollywood in 1925. And after several years, Garbo attained international stardom with her third movie in 1927 from the silent era. But before becoming an actress, Garbo had worked as a salesperson at a Swedish department store, promoting men’s clothing lines.
