520 $aIn 1926 John Gilbert was the greatest male film star in the world. Millions of women were in love with him. But once he met his new co-star, a young Swedish actress still struggling to speak English, on the set of Flesh and the Devil, there would only ever be one true love in his life. Her name was Greta Garbo. Many expected sparks to fly between the two contrasting characters - the icy, homesick Garbo with a need for privacy and the publicity-hungry Gilbert. Instead, there was an explosion of passion as, in front of the cast and crew, Garbo and Gilbert fell madly in love. Gilbert spent vast fortunes on making his Hollywood mansion suitable for her, building a waterfall and log cabin in his grounds to remind her of her home country. When she accepted his proposal of marriage, it was to be the biggest wedding in Tinseltown's short history. But Garbo left him at the altar, and when sound revolutionized the movie business, their careers began to diverge. She went on to become one of the most famous screen legends of all time, while Gilbert fell out with the vengeful head of MGM Louis B. Mayer and into the bottom of the bottle. Could their love survive? Garbo and Gilbert in Love is one of Hollywood's great untold love stories. Set in the era of jazz and Prohibition, this tale of a celebrity couple caught in the full glare of the media spotlight and unable to escape is as relevant today as it was then.
