Live Stream Event: See Miss G. Online

On Wednesday, September 18th at 6pm we are live streaming "Garbo Dreams" from a secret location in NYC.

How are we doing this? 

Well, a hidden camera, of course!?

Yes, the most famous recluse of all time would not speak to you in public, so we put a hidden camera in her apartment. How naughty of us!

Now for truth time: Why are we going to all this trouble? 
Garbo did not like to talk to the public. In fact, she refused to give interviews, even after her retirement. She shunned the public spotlight in part to feed her image. The more she ran, the more people followed her. Even in the 80s, "Garbo sightings" were commonplace. Up until her death people vied for private access to the "divine one." 

Today's celebrity culture is rife with over-sharing of one's private life and a constant barrage of blatant invasions of privacy. Would Garbo have survived in such an environment? It's my opinion that she wouldn't have bothered. 

But what if Miss Garbo bother and was as famous today as she was in the 1930s? No doubt she would have had her phone hacked into, had her picture taken by every stranger she passes...as she shunned the spotlight the tactics would grow more desperate, just as they had in the 1930s. The difference is that today there are no boundaries when it comes to celebrity culture. Is it that far off to think that if she was alive today she would have a desperate fan plant a hidden camera in her home? Listen in on the most difficult moment in their life? Not as a empathetic listener, but as a voyeuristic observer. Watching, and perhaps learning something. 

Experience that invasion on September 18th.
