Had the motherhood that Garbo lacked, The propriety that Crawford lacked, The acting skills that Shearer lacked, And better diction than all three... I love this description!
@Sunshiny day in April Joan Crawford was notorious for being badly behaved, a terrible shrew. And Norma Shearer's talent was nothing compared to Garson
In "Goodbye Mr. Chips" she was every young man's dream. There has never been an equal to this quality lady. The best thing ever imported to the US from Britain.
Random Harvest with Greer Garson and Ronald Colman is not only a great story, it is a pleasure listening to two of the most beautiful voices of the time.
She was incredibly beautiful wasn't she? I was surprised to read a comment, from another portion of this interview, about what an amazing memory this elderly person had. I thought how strange a word to describe her, elderly is not even one of the descriptive words that came to my mind while watching this.
Aryeh Finklestein she was 81! She was born in 1904 not 1908. Many actresses falsified their birth years back then for the studios because of ageism. After her death her records revealed she was born in 1904.
Aryeh Finklestein she was very classy, something today's actors and actresses lack! I just love old Hollywood films and always research the stars when I see a film I like. Today TCM showed Misbehaving Julia and Liz Taylor was so beautiful like Greer. Wow!
Just watched Greer Garson on TCM in Blossoms in the Dust. Such a wonderful actress and lovely person. She is so enchanting in this interview and so dearly missed.
I love Greer Garson! The movie Random Harvest is my favorite, even though my mom always sad I watch too many Ronald Coleman sad movies , It is still one of my favorites, I suppose because it was such a beautiful movie ! A friend from Alexandria Bay New York ,Samantha Estelle Parker Happy New year 2021.
Watching Greer Garson in Random Harvest, one of my all time favorite movies, shows what a classy beautiful lady is like. A true love story that will bring tears to your eyes. They just don;t make movies like this anymore! Paul Lidbeck, Clarkdale, Az.
Greer Garson was beautiful and amazing actress but I loved Elwy Yost and I always think about him every time I drive by his high school. RIP both of you.
Incredibly beautiful, her spirit her voice, her person. I could have watched and listened to her reminisce for hours. Wouldn't you have loved to see Ronald Coleman calling a square dance at her ranch? What images that conjured up for me. Delightful interview, thanks for posting these.
my wife is very quiet and doesn't speak a lot and it sometimes annoys me. When that happens I simply pull up this clip of Greer Garson and listen to her ramble on and on and on and on and on and on and I become so very very very very very thankful for how my wife is!
Greer Garson is the kind of person I would like to have as an intimate friend and next-door neighbor. She will always be, for me, the perfect ideal of loveliness, decorum and good sense.
Gloria Hanes what is your source on this? Columbia pictures were using the "woman holding the torch" logo as early as 1929 I believe and Greer didn't come to Hollywood until 1939.
During the filming of Mrs. Miniver, Greer Garson was having an off camera affair with her much younger co-star who played her son. This did not go down well with MGM, and they did everything to try and keep this secret. She was indeed a beautiful woman.
