Greta Garbo first met society photographer Cecil Beaton in
Hollywood in 1932. Both were caught in turbulent same-sex affairs.
Yet Garbo flirted and danced with Beaton, told him he was pretty,
presented him with 'a rose that lives and dies and never again
returns' and at dawn drove away in her black Packard. Cecil took
the rose home to England, framed it in silver and hung it above his
bed. Fifteen years later Greta and Cecil met again. For her it was
an idle flirtation. For him it fuelled his ambition to photograph
her, to be like her and to marry her - an obsession that became a
betrayal. Souhami draws on diaries, memoirs, letters, photographs
and films to reveal the truth behind this fascinating and
narcissistic relationship.
