Greta Garbo
It’s nearly incomprehensible to leave Hollywood at the pinnacle of your profession. However, Greta Garbo actually did this. Prior to her 1930 debut in Anna Christie, the three-time Academy Award nominee acted in silent films. She chose to resign at the age of 35 after a stint as “film industry poison.” Garbo led a carefree and enjoyable life of recreation and travel. Additionally, she began collecting art prior to her death. Her collection is now valued in the millions.
