Saturday, November 9, 2018, 11:41 pm — The usually affable Teeny Tuxedo … has reached her affability limit … she’s channeling the reclusive “Swedish Sphinx” … Greta Garbo ... “I vant … to be … ALONE!” …
“I vant … to be … alone!” … or maybe not … Greta Garbo, John Gilbert … Flesh and the Devil, 1926 …
“The most famous quip attributed to Greta Garbo is short and sardonic: “I want to be alone.” But the actress, who made a practice of shunning reporters, premieres and fan mail, claimed that she had been misquoted. “I never said, ‘I want to be alone,’” she explained, according to a 1955 piece in LIFE magazine. “I only said, ‘I want to be let alone! There is all the difference.”
Movies, Of Course!
