edgedrv Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 On April 7, the Academy in Beverly Hills will be doing a special tribute/retrospective of the legendary actress. The evening will consist of clips and commentary by people who knew Garbo. I guess there are a few left. Guests include Gavin Lambert and Gore Vidal. In conjunction, UCLA will be presenting a series of screenings of Garbo's films. Hopefully, WB will soon followup with a box set of Garbo's most famous films including my favorite CAMILLE.

edgedrv Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 As a followup to my prior announcement about the Garbo centennial in Los Angeles, WB has just announced that a box set of films of this legendary actress will be released in the fall. Included will be ANNA KARENINA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garboloygrant Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Yea! Finally! I've already requested Sept. 18 off from work just in case TCM decides to celebrate Garbo's 100th b-day. I am definitely going to purchase her box set. Thank you so much for the great news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsallieharding Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I was really fascinated by the german version of Anna Christie that played on TCM. Comparing the two was wonderful. It would be nice to see more of her german made movies, maybe on TCM Import on friday nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeedan1927 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Garboloygrant, you won't have to wait till September. TCM has a whole day of Garbo films scheduled on May 31! And I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts the upcoming Garbo set includes GRAND HOTEL, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
