The river and boats probably reminded her of Stockholm.

Garbo was smart about finances. She had good financial advice. She invested in properties and other things which continued to skyrocket in value. She was an amazing screen actress. However, she had dignity and class. She was independent and had the financial independence to do exactly as she wanted. She never had to make a comeback or pay back taxes, or do dog food or diaper commercials to make a living in her later years. She did not pop up on superficial and trashy talk shows. She was allergic to "bullshit" and would not take part in it.

"I want to be alone." GG was never alone in that palace. She had friends and family coming in and out of that place all the time.

Her legend will never die.

Pretty sure neither of the presenters have seen a Garbo film.

I don't understand why the price on that apartment is so low compared to other comprable apartments in Manhattan , and add to that - THERE WAS ONLY ONE GARBO , and the apartment is also perfect ?

First time I've appreciated anything in pink decor.

She had a good sense of art

This apartment is very classy unlike many of the Hollywood set who adore it with too much glitzy. Clearly her Swedish sensibility and personal style makes this so wonderful.

Oh how beautiful...I've always adored Ms.Garbo...such a beautiful lady and actress. If I had the money I'd buy this place and cherish it. It would remain exactly what its suppose too. Greta Garbo's home... I've seen all her movies, and only dreamed to be like her. She is missed dearly....and I personally what to thank her niece for keeping it...so all of us fan know in our hearts that there is a piece of her still living.

This apartment is so well decorated and furnished and has such a great view that I could happily stay indoors there for days and not feel cramped or confined. Even when the apartment was originally half its present size I would think it would be easy to stay there for long periods of time.

The things this real estate agent says makes me cringe lol !!!!

I barely recognize the place, actually. The furniture is COMPLETELY different....all the French antiques she loved are gone. The bar was not there, was added after her death. I realize that living there since the 50s, much had to be updated to sell the apartment, venetian old-style blinds, etc., but I actually liked it better the way Garbo had it all assembled. She bought what she liked and she had A LOT of it crammed in there....all beautiful, of course. Garbo would barely recognize this modernization of her place, that's for sure.

It's too bad the tour guide did not know then names of the artists, Soutine and Modigliani.

the trolls underneath the couches are not to be seen........

I wish I could live like greta garbo...

MaGarbo is a Filipino word rooted from and coined after the great, iconic actress, it means lavish and or luxurious..just like the way the Hollywood legend lived her life..

It’s ‘give me a whiskey’ not fetch me....she would have cringed knowing that guy was parading through her house cracking jokes.

Actually, after seeing this, I feel less sorry for her living alone as she did: hey, she lived in luxury!

Beautiful actress beautiful home

She lived how she wanted no fuss Garbo was a realist

Greta Garbo took Sir Anthony Quinn with her to buy some Picasso's. She bought all of them! Then she turned to Sir Anthony Quinn and said something, "Oh, I'm sorry, you wanted to buy one too." And he said, "No, I don't want to be Pope, I .. I." Then he realized that it had nothing to do with his movie SHOES OF THE FISHERMAN. And Greta said to Sir Anthony Qulinn, "Tony, how selfish of me, you can buy the pink one." And he said, "No, no, I can't buy the Pink One." And in her inimitable way said, "I know you're not a fairy, you must buy it, Tony." And he said, "Okay, I'll buy it." He wrote the auctioneer a post-dated check. He went to his house and sold it for $50,000 just to buy the painting not to break Greta Garbo's heart. Sir Anthony Quinn then had to go back and take whichever part Hollywood producers offered him. Today, Sir Anthony Quinn's most valuable possession is the 'Pink' Pablo Picasso painting which Greta Garbo insisted he buy it. He has donated it so it hangs in one of Mexico's national museums for all Mexican museum visitors would remember the greatest Spanish painter in history -- Vic Alexander, Son of Nimrod the Jewish Producer of great movies.

Typical american mindset , all about the value and money , not much about the art itself.

No words can describe the sweet sensation that looking at this apartment can evoke. It feels "the Angel" is still with us, living in this dimension. By now, the home has another owner, but it is an important document for it is the only tangible thing we have of GG, besides her movies. You won't be forgotten, Greta Lovisa. ❤️

It's a nice apartment, but the lounge looks like a hotel lobby.

1:11 someone goofed here; Garbo's niece was 85 when she died in 2017 just a few months after this video was uploaded.

I dont think Greta would love the idea that you guys invaded her sanctuary even for a moment 😅

2:12 Amedeo Modigliani, an Italian Jew, a true original which depicts the elongated neck which he was famous for in (all) his paintings. This was a painting of his wife as she posed for many of his paintings. Amedeo Modigliani lived in the time of Picasso and died before he realized he was famous. Many artists are famous in death and worth little in life. His life was a personal struggle, but he lives in the minds of those who adore him for his raw energy and unique interpretation of the human form.

I wonder how much Katharine Hepburn's townhouse must cost now that she doesn't own it

2:11 Is that a Modigliani? Holy moly.

I was named after her my name is Greta!! (This is my moms account)

I named my dog Garbo because she is the most beautiful dog I've ever seen. So naturally I named her after the original queen of the screen. Greta Garbo

Wow-Garbo apartment-Thanks for sharing. I love her movies still.

Now that... is style!! ❤️

Fabulous but that traffic noise and pollution immediately below ! Triple glazing I guess

I only hope, that whoever gets this amazing home, leaves it alone. Ms. Garbo, deserves respect. If Only!!!

Greata had a sense of pattern and colour.

It’s incredible how must respect it’s given..

The news anchors are just as sickening as the smarmy estate agent .

It sold for $8.5 Million.

Nice place, but I would rather look out my window and see some trees and green grass. Everybody is different though.

Its sad that the family doesnt. Want it. Sad

She was once the woman I wanted to look like.

Superb!!

Great style.she had sweds have practical style.but functionality my late grandmother house was like this and she was also Swedish.

Nine million to live there??? What decade was that? LOL That's probably what a down payment would be today, not that anyone who could afford this would make payments.

Is it true she bought the flat next door and eventually owned the whole floor so no one had a reason to go there?

If Enigma had a face it would've been Greta Garbo throughout her life & beyond. Pure Classy Legendary Megastar. Greta Garbo I Salute You. 🙏🏻👑

I want to be alone and want to spend rest of my life in this house.

So bohemian love it

Wow! I thought even famous actresses didn't make that much money, she must have stood her grounds.

Glad I am not swayed by $$$ signs. Love the New York apartment though.

What is the valuable painting at 2:12?

She didn't live there 'most of her adult life'. She lived elsewhere until her 50s.

Wonder if IKEA furniture creators took lessons in minimizing from her.

What is the name of the man ( male tour guide ) who is showing her the apartment !?!

Impeccable taste! Simply, stunning!

I love these movie stars of the golden age of Hollywood. They had style... And I always have a bit of a problem with these private video's. This was her home. This was her bedroom. Is it oppropriate for us to look at that? Aiiii... But bless her. She was truly one of the greatest of all time

her life as amazing as her films

It looks quite sad and it's grey outside...

Stunning I can only dream of living in such beauty

2:11 you bet is more expensive than the apartment, looks like a Modigliani.

there making her apt into a shrine and before they ever raise the price on that apartment she must have got it for Less so now they up the ante on the apartment because it was owned by Greta Garbo I wonder what Katherine Hepburn townhouse must cost now that she moved out

Tutto questo ci ricorda che tutto è nulla. Come dice il Siracide: Vanità delle Vanità.

Wow class

It’s perfection but not to my taste.

What happened to the inflatable Santa Claus?

She seemed to like books about herself for someone that wanted to be left alone.She liked the attention it brought her.

What a beautiful home. These two were tacky and it felt invasive. Would have been better without trying to imitate her ordering a drink, not sounding like her at all.

🇮🇹 FROM ITALY,,,,IF SHE SEEN THESE PERSONS ,,,,IN HER HOME,,,,SHE WOULD TAKE A SHOT!!!!

CBS/ New York, I would take her Luxurious Pad over Dowton Abbey if I could afford it. She lived Large and Well you might say. RCJ/LEO

I wish the other side of her family got the home then I could go visit

Herzlichen

How charming how those distant relatives without any own achievements, sell out everything that once was hers. They must be really broke to sell out like that.

Nice

Aloha

It may be expensive but I did not like it.

Greta Garbo lived frugally - not like other Hollywood stars -

personally i think the view is "depressing"...do not know that much about nyc but was/is the east side less crowded, not as "hip and fashionable" and more secluded along the east river and that is why she chose it?

too cheap.

Ooh materialism at it's finest. Why do people say "home" when they should say "house"? So pretentious.

Only downside is that its flowers empty. She was lazy, didnt want to deal with living things. Eww

oh god give me a break please !!!!!!!

Greta Garbo, what a babe! Beauty and exquisite taste in the good life! :D

Her neice is probably the love child she hid

i dont like the flat

I mean it is big but the style and location makes it kinda look extremely dull and ghetto compared to todays standards of overpaid hollywood starts.... That being said i understand for it's time it was considered luxury

Horrible views.it looks like hull.

What a waste of a home, which should be used
