Greta Garbo
Greta Garbo, who was born at a period when women were expected to marry, was a trailblazer in her refusal to marry throughout the 1920s and 1930s, when her acting career was just getting started. In the end, the actress opted to live alone after never marrying. Her most notable love engagement was with John Gilbert, a frequent co-star. While it lasted, they had a wonderful relationship going and assisted each other with their acting careers.
Gilbert was madly in love with Garbo and proposed to her many times, but she always said no or backed out at the last minute. “I was over over heels in love with him,” she said. “However, I froze.” I was terrified he’d tell me what to do and try to control me. “I’ve always wanted to be in charge.” Despite having amassed a substantial wealth valued at over $30 million, the actress died without a husband or children, leaving her entire legacy to her niece, Gray Reisfield. Garbo was bisexual or lesbian, according to recent biographers, and had close encounters with women.
