Greta came from a very low-income family. She was required to leave class and head to work.
She was hired as a salesperson at a business selling women’s headgear, and the proprietor offered to use her image to promote his goods.
At that time, everyone in the entertainment industry was interested in the shy yet attractive girl.
Greta was initially intended to work as a model, but she developed a passion for acting and entered an art school instead.
Greta didn’t value her beauty before she became well-known, finding herself tall and ungainly.
Her shoe size was 42 cm, and she was 170 cm tall. Being that tall was unfashionable at the time.
She first challenged with English, but she quickly mastered Hollywood and started to earn very high salaries.
Greta was listed as ‘The Most Beautiful Woman in the World’ in the Guinness Book of Records in the 1950s.
The unique symmetry of Greta’s face might have had an impact (it is well known that in most people the face differs markedly from side to side).
The actress, however, thought that her sister was more attractive and brilliant than she was.
