Greta Garbo ... Early Silence

Early Silence

Grandfather Johan Agathon Gustafsson with bis wife Johanna (right) and Sons Karl and David (left). The family moved to many new places and jobs over the years. Greta‘s paternal uncle (above left, right) bought his first taxi-cab in 1910. His friends called him Garbo-Gustaf. When Garbo was a rising star and being seen with Mauritz Stiller, the wellknown director, in the midtwenties, Stockholm was a small town with only a few cabs. “In those days I often drove Greta, Stiller and their friends“, her uncle David has recounted. “Greta and I had a silent agreement that we wouldn‘t show that we knew each other on such occasions.“
