Greta Garbo as Countess Marie Walewska, Conquest
I’m not sure why but I am enthralled by this Greta Garbo publicity photo for Conquest (1937). There’s something so regal and beautiful about it, yet incredibly vulnerable at the same time. Garbo could convey many emotions and (much like Joan Crawford and Barbara Stanwyck), she could convey more than one at the same time.
Fascinatingly talented!
If you’ve never seen Conquest (Amazon DVD link), I highly recommend it. There’s nothing quite like seeing an actor or actress in one of their most powerful roles.
