About the Item
In his autobiography, A Life in Photography, Steichen gave a vivid recount of this sitting:
'When Garbo came in to pose for the Vanity Fair photograph, I asked her to sit on the chair. She straddled it and used its back for resting her arms. I made five or six exposures, all more or less like her typical movie stills…but what bothered me most was her hair. It was curled and fluffy and hung down over her forehead. I said, "It’s too bad we’re doing this with that movie hairdo." At that, she put her hands up to her forehead and pushed every strand back away from her face saying, “Oh, this terrible hair.” At that moment, the woman came out, like the sun coming out from behind dark clouds. The full beauty of her magnificent face was revealed.'
