Dreaming of: Candid Garbo

Sure Garbo was the essence of Hollywood glamour with a dash of European mystery and allure, but once the cameras stopped, she proved herself to be anything but a regular girl. No matter what she did, she was beautiful, stylish and utterly unique. And when she was candid, we catch a glimpse of the real woman behind the legend.











Happy Birthday, beautiful girl.
