Greta Garbo items go to auction
Bidding was brisk and high as more than 850 items belonging to the reclusive Swedish actress went up for sale over two days at Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills.
A 1930s black velvet evening dress with an estimated value of about $1,200 sold on Friday for $13,750. A steamer trunk fetched one of the highest bids. "One of the top selling items today is the Louis Vuitton trunk that Garbo had, one of the first items she purchased, for her shoes. And there was a frenzy of bidding worldwide and the winning bidder went from France and bought the trunk for in the region of almost 40,000 dollars."
Her greatnephew Derek Reisfield told Reuters when the auction was announced in August that the family had kept her belongings in storage before deciding to sell them.
The collection includes furniture and photos from Garbo's Hollywood heyday, the platform bed she designed using antique Swedish carvings to reflect her Scandinavian heritage and lots of vintage and designer dresses and shoes .
"Her dresses are fetching at prices ranging between 10 and 20,000 dollars. We've sold some of the Ferragamo shoes in the region of 15 20,000 dollars. It's a fantastic auction, really, it's remarkable to see the interest in Greta Garbo worldwide, even today, if she was alive today Garbo would be 107 (years old.) Among other early items sold on Friday was a single page Swedish summary bank statement from 1956 that fetched $1,125, a Swedish military jacket ($4,062), and a 1960s silk brocade evening coat ($12,800).
The buyers for the various items were not immediately known.
Garbo started her Hollywood career in silent movies such as 1927's "Flesh and the Devil" and was among the few actors to successfully transition to talkies,[url=http://www.sport.fr/smartphones/moncler.asp]doudoune moncler[/url], becoming iconic not only for her beauty, but for her brains and the streak of independence she displayed on film and in her personal life.
She earned four Academy Award nominations, her first for 1929's "Anna Christie," and was finally given an honorary award for unforgettable performances by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1954.
