Description

pp. 273, b/w photographs, “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.”
