Drawing on hitherto unavailable material, including one hundred hours of tape-recorded conversations, fifty years of correspondence, and interviews with Garbo’s surviving friends and family, Paris reveals the real woman behind the enigma. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBarry Paris is an award-winning biographer, film and music critic, and journalist who is the author of \u003cem\u003eLouise Brooks\u003c\/em\u003e (Minnesota, 2001).
