Merry Christmas

GARBO

In my annual Christmas tradition, here is my all-time favorite USC picture.
Hollywood screen legend Greta Garbo was sent to USC in 1926 to pose for some publicity photos with the track team. Garbo initially refused until MGM deducted $25 from her salary, which convinced her to head to campus and don a USC track singlet.

  1. Give it a rest. Keep your precious memento locked away somewhere safe. Your posters are not that wild to see it and hear about it yet again…just to kill time and take up space Perhaps you can resurrect the ‘ol ‘Where did the gargoyle, bear on the campus building come from?’

    • Zancudo, your rant against this pic is boggling!!

      i LOVE this pic, Garbo has a Top 3 most beautiful mug in cinema history!

      • cambiar. But you’re right about her face.

        Mug? Era-appropriate slang, but wasn’t there a better tone match in the vernacular of that era?

    • Redundant, yes, but for once, I have to agree with Charlie. That woman was extraordinarily beautiful, even in Hollywood.

  2. don’t LISTEN to ’em wolfman, this pic ROCKS!!

    if you could ID that leering creepy guey in the pic, it would be appreciated. that guey must be close to 125 yrs old by now…
