She really was the most beautiful movie star ever. But during her brief career (before she gave it all up to live a private life) very few color photographs of her were taken. That was because all of Garbo's movies were in black-and-white, which was then the norm.
But we do have some color photographs of Garbo (including a later in life passport photo) and they reveal her luminescent hazel/violet eyes -- absolutely beguiling! Small wonder the actress Melina Mercouri once said that when she met Garbo and gazed into her eyes, it took her breath away.
Note: these photos are not colorized. They're genuine. Enjoy!
