In June 1930, Greta received word that Mimi Pollak was pregnant. On the eighteenth of that month, she wrote a letter to her illustrating her conflicting emotions regarding the news. First she scolded Mimi for not telling her sooner that she was going to present the world with a “little Mimosa.” Then she joked. What would the baby be called? she asked. Was Garboni Pollak Mimosa Lundell too much?
Still, she seemed to yearn for some, thing that was lost along the way. She professed having neither the time nor the inclination to alter her course. She anticipated being alone because, she claimed, it was in her character – she could do nothing else. Yet it amused Greta to ponder what “Nisse” (Mimi's husband, Nils) would think if he ever read her letter-would he think Greta a “jilted” lover?
When Mimi's son Lars was born, Garbo became his godmother. It is said that he met her several times in the 1960s. When Mimi gave birth to her son, Garbo wrote her a letter: “Incredibly proud to be a father.”
Lars Lundell does have all letters Garbo wrote to Mimi and he does not belive that his mother and Garbo had an affair togehter.
