Garbo Star Quality: Being in Your Body

We're continuing our discussion on what made Garbo so damned appealing. 

There were thousands of actresses in Hollywood and around the world trying to break into movies. What made Garbo so special. 

In the two stills here -- from Gosta Berling -- Garbo inhabits her emotion within her body. The two are fused.  She is three dimensional and almost comes off the screen. She pops because her character is fully human -- embodied.  She doesn't hold back her sensuality and that reads clearly on film....and is completely alluring.  

What do you see?

In the first photo I see inquisitive disbelief. In the second I see resigned realization.
