Not Garbo

One magazine wrote in 1988 that this is Garbo. It's not.

This Tallulah Bankhead Promo Picture was mistakenly used for the TCM Garbo DVD Box.

This German dancer was often mistakenly credited as Garbo. The naked woman was Martha Kreis from Düsseldorf in Germany and not GG.

The story appeared in the late 1980s when Swedish opera singer Richard Lindskog discovered and bought this picture for 200 Kronor at a Swedish flea market. He was sure it was Garbo on the beautyful photo and some "experts" even agreed to this andsaid "Hips and hands are Garbo's".

The photography was then sold to European magazines for very big amount of money. A German woman then saw the picture in a magazine and said trhat it was not Garbo but Martha Kreiss, a German dancer and actresss from Düsseldorf in Germany. In the beginning of the 1940s, Martha had a contract in Stockholm's China theatre and this photo was used for promotional reasons.

What happened to Martha is a mystery.

Thanks to Bea.
