Greta Garbo Possessions Sold at Auction
Silver screen legend Greta Garbo is clearly still very much loved today, as is evident by the sale of some of her personal belongings. The actress' things sold for three times the estimated amount, bringing in $1.6 million.
Martin Nolan, the Executive Director of the venue which hosted the event, said "her beauty, extraordinary screen presence and fashion trending style were proven to be timeless in this extraordinary two-day event."
Some of the Swedish-born actress' possessions that were sold included her sunglasses, velvet turban, jewelry set, Valentina Ottoman silk overcoat and a Louis Vuitton steamer trunk (which sold for a massive $37,00).
While Garbo died back in 1990, her appeal and the love the public has for the "Anna Karenina" star still lives on.
