smiley963: What first attracted you to this woman?
A silent-movie fanatic friend recommended I watch her role as Countess Felicitas, with leading man John Gilbert in the 1926 silent film ‘Flesh and the Devil’ and then her first talkie ‘Anna Christie.’ Then I read every book on her I could find in our local libraries. Great acting talent and the lights and cameras loved her face that could run through every emotion like magic.
good athlete too ... loved swimming, tennis, downhill skiing, ice skating etc. she wasn’t a recluse but she perpetuated that idea to make her seem more mysterious... genius Swede. . In fact, Aristotle Onassis would let her borrow his yacht to party on anytime she asked. She was so smart she owned her Hollywood contracts and media, maybe the only actor to ever do that, in her time anyways.

galrads: My best friend in grade school talked sort of like you. He tried to tell me that my real father is an alien from outer space. Like I said, he tried to tell me. Hey, smiley ...
It is not healthy to be in love with a ghost, or do you two meet up in your dreams?
