The 1984 film Garbo Talks was d irected by Sidney Lumet and written by Larry Grusin. It was the tale of fatally ill Anne Bancroft, whose dying wish is to meet Garbo. It contained clips from Garbo's greatest films, and many believed it to be a true story.

In any case, it is not true – as many Garbo-philes insist – that she appeared as herself (back to the camera) at the end of Garbo Talks. The actress who did so, uncredited, was Betty Comden.

The film was fiction but had some rough equivalents in real life. “She was compassionate about people who were ill to an unusual degree,” recalled her friend Jane Gunther.
