Greata Garbo PHOTOPHOBIA
10/17/49

Greta Garbo's well-publicized hatred of publicity is no pose. "I feel like a criminal who is hunted," she told a gossip columnist in France. "When photographers come, they draw crowds. I am frightened beyond control. When so many people stare, I feel almost ashamed."
