Leta 1926 se je preselila v ZDA in že s prvim filmom, The Torrent (1926), postala zvezda. Upodabljala je like iz zgodovine in književnosti in kmalu prerasla v mit. Leta 1941 je po neuspehu s filmom Ženska z dvema obrazoma prenehala z nastopanjem. Za življenjsko delo je 1954 prejela oskarja. Pomembnejši filmi: Mata Hari (1932), Grand hotel (1932), Kraljica Kristina (1933), Ana Karenina (1935), Dama s kamelijami (1936), Ninočka (1939).

Greta Garbo (= Greta Lovisa Gustafsson) was brought to Hollywood in 1925. MGM turned her into a beautiful, queenly actress whose ambitious films always made headlines, even if they sometimes lost money. She was known for her shyness, and her sudden retirement in 1941 enhanced the air of mystery that surrounded her for most of her life. Flesh and the Devil (1927) is the best of her silent melodramas. Her first talkie was Anna Christie (1930). Other notable films include Mata Hari (1932), Grand Hotel (1932), As You Desire Me (1932), Queen Christina (1933), Anna Karenina (1935), Camille (1936), Conquest (S-2485)(1937), Ninotchka (1939), and Two-Faced Woman (1941).

Njeni kasnejši romani Silvijini ljubimci, Bratranec Filip in posthumno izdan nekompleten Žene in hčerke, kažejo na njeno stalno zanimanje za socialne probleme.

The English author Elizabeth Cleghorn Stevenson Gaskell  was an influential novelist whose works focus upon social and economic themes. Mrs. Gaskell's first novel,  Mary Barton (1848), attacked the callousness of manufacturers. North and South (1855), often considered her finest novel,  contrasted the socioeconomic conditions then existing in the urban north and rural south of England. Her later novels, Sylvia's Lovers (1863), Cousin Phillis (1865), and the posthumously published and incomplete Wives and Daughters (1866), showed continuing concern with social problems. A meeting with Charlotte Bronte in 1850 led to friendship, and, on Miss Bronte's death, Mrs. Gaskell wrote The Life of Charlotte Bronte (1857), a then controversial, but sensitive, biography.

Gregory Isabela Augusta 5.3.1852 - 22.5.1932

Lady Gregory was an Irish   playwright, folklorist, and a founder of the Abbey Theatre. In 1880 she married the elderly Sir William Gregory, a noted member   of Parliament, and after his death, turned her abundant energies to the collection of Irish folktales and the movement called the   Irish Literary Renaissance. In 1899 she helped with William Yeats and others develop the Irish Literary Theatre, which subsequently became the Abbey Theatre. For more than 30 years Lady Gregory directed the fortunes of the    Abbey: conducted rehearsals, wrote letters, read scripts, led the company on American tours, and, most importantly, wrote about 40 plays for it. Her best short    comedies, however, Spreading the News (1904), Hyacinth Halvey (1906), The Rising of the Moon (1907), and The Workhouse Ward (1908), resemble the works of a miniature Moliere; and her short tragedy The Gaol Gate (1906) is comparable to John Millington Synge's masterly Riders to the Sea. She translated Moliere and encouraged the work of Synge and younger Irish writers.
