Anne Frank was a Jewish girl born in Germany. She gained international fame posthumously following the publication of her diary which documents her experiences hiding during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II.
For decades there is this rumor that she had a picture of Garbo on her wall in her room. This rumor is actually true. Anne had many photos on her wall.

Those pasted pictures on the wall of her room in the hidden attic have been restored in 2008. It took a decade to fix the 60-year-old-plus photographs of celebrities, most clipped from a Dutch women's magazine. Copies have been hanging in their place. Apart from Garbo other images include the Lane Sisters, Sonja Henie and Britain's Queen Elizabeth.
