Greta Garbo actress Greta Garbo was a star in Germany, Sweden and the US. For a time she was the most admired European actress in the USA. But how did the Swedish actress of Swedish grandeur become the famous American actress? She was a star in her own right. She starred in the 1940 Swedish musical Robin Hood – Den här veckan [Lucky me...]. The film was a remake of the 1930 Hollywood musical, The Gay Divorcee. It was this film that started Greta Garbo on her Hollywood career. (1)
Starring in the movie was an unknown Swedish actress named Ingrid Bergman, who played the female lead of the film. Ingrid Bergman was destined for stardom. But even at that time, the critics were already wondering if Greta Garbo could match her performance. (2)
Garbo's performance was so good that it earned her a nomination for best actress at the Academy Awards. At the ceremonies, the English words of the song, "I've Got You Under My Skin" were to be translated into German. The songwriter had done so. It was the first time that a foreign song was to be translated into a foreign language. The translation happened to be of the song that Garbo's character had sung to the young man who had become her lover. (3)
Being a foreign song, the translation was tough. Even after the two people in the audience had translated it into German, the officials at the Academy found it tough to interpret. The Germans thought that the girl's voice sounded as if she was singing while the boy was singing. So, they decided to have a committee of the Academy officials to verify if it was translated correctly.
The committe decided that it was. The committe member who had listened to the song remarked that Garbo had sung the song perfectly. She also had sung it in her real accent. The committe member then informed Garbo about this, and told her to tell her Swedish friends how great she was. The committe member was of the opinion that the Swedish audiences would not be able to understand the song but they would feel that Garbo had sung the song in her own accent.
The committe member had also told Garbo to sing the song in her own way. This meant that she should sing it in a way that she would sing it in her native language. She went on to win the award for best supporting
