Product Description
The story of the tempestuous romance between screen goddess Greta Garbo and society photographer Cecil Beaton--two enigmatic and iconic legends of the 30s. Best-selling author Souhami has drawn on diaries, letters, photographs, and films to show they both infused their work with the allure of androgyny--while concealing it in their private lives. A beautiful picture of two remarkable individuals and their era. "Compelling reading."--Literary Review. "...fascinating insight..."--Elle.

BEATON'S TRUE COLORS REVEALED November 1, 2002
JOSET LORET (TAMPA, FL USA)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I BOUGHT THIS BOOK TO ADD TO MY GRETA GARBO BOOK COLLECTION & WAS SATISFIED WITH ITS REVELATIONS. I DON'T ALWAYS BELIEVE WHAT I READ FROM SECONDHAND SOURCES BUT THIS BOOK SEEMS TO BE ACCURATE IN ITS TELLING OF THE LIFE OF CECIL BEATON AS IT RELATED TO GARBO. I WAS PLEASED TO LEARN DETAILS OF GARBO'S PRIVATE LIFE AS A RECLUSE SINCE SUCH INFORMATION IS SCARCE. THE BOOK IS CERTAINLY A GREAT READ AS MR. BEATON WAS QUITE INTERESTING HIMSELF & HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE GARBO IN FIRST PERSON.
