The last professional footage shot of Greta Garbo in test film for a movie entitled The Duchess of Langeais (which was planned as her possible screen comeback, but ultimately shelved when financing fell through), cinematography by James Wong Howe, May 25th, 1949. Garbo was 44 years old at this point and hadn’t made a film since Two-Faced Woman in 1941, but she remained as beautiful as ever. This footage was inexplicably hidden away until after her demise in 1990.
