Waiting
to start on a film Greta met her Swedish friends who formed a sort of colony in Santa Monica. The quartet from the preceeding two pages are seen together above. Garbo‘s two gin friends on the following spread are Karin Molander (with sunshade) and Edith Erastoff, married to Swedish director Victor Sjöström (Seastrom), who had accepted a Hollywood offer before Stiller.
“This is a rather unusual portrait of Garbo who imagines she has become strong by paddling about in my canoe for a couple of hours. But she has got a sun tan.“ Notes on the back of a private snapshot.
