Exquisitely hard-boiled 19 years old Louise Brooks is interviewed by a awed journalist, and this is how the interview starts:

The Story of Greta Garbo — Part III (1928) 🇺🇸
In the two previous installments (April 1928 | May 1928) of her fascinating story, Miss Garbo told of her lonely childhood in Sweden and of her first ambitions to become an actress. As a young girl she entered the Royal Dramatic School in Stockholm and while she was still a student, Mauritz Stiller discovered her screen possibilities. Her first European picture was a great success but, because of bad financial conditions in Europe, her career seemed at a standstill when Stiller met Louis B. Mayer in Berlin. Mayer signed a contract with both Stiller and Miss Garbo. At the end of the summer, Miss Garbo sailed for America. She was shy, strange and she knew no English. But she had high hopes and expected to find New York carpeted with flowers. Now read the final chapter of this engrossing life story.
