All in the Family

During her long retirement from Hollywood, Greta Garbo was, as many of her fans know, very keen on tennis. With the young David Pryce-Jones, she chose to play the game topless, "so flat-chested," he tells us, "that she looked more masculine than ever." This is somewhat unfair to Garbo, whose cold, chiaroscuro beauty—it is impossible to imagine her in color—I have always admired. But it is also typical of this charming, gay (in both senses of the word), and very funny memoir.
