Page "Greta Garbo" Paragraph 23

In 1935, David O. Selznick wanted to cast her as the dying heiress in Dark Victory, but Garbo chose Tolstoy's Anna Karenina ( 1935 ) in which she played another of her renowned roles.

Her subsequent part as the doomed courtesan opposite Robert Taylor in George Cukor's Camille ( 1936 ) earned her a third Academy Award nomination.

Many film critics regard it as her finest performance.
