The Story of One Occasion
On one of many occasions Greta Garbo visited her fellow actress Marilyn Monroe in her home town, the City of Angels. Greta, who lived in New York, flew to the West Coast, took a taxi at the airport, and rode home to Marilyn, who welcomed her in her usual fashion, barefoot in a simple dress. She often wore an apron too because she loved baking rolls for Greta, who kindled her passion for rolls. Greta said she had this effect on people; they wanted to bake and feed her all sorts of delicacies. Marilyn Monroe agreed because she had never had the urge to bake rolls for anyone else. She always loved to open a bottle of wine in the company of good friends so she could be at ease. But Greta wasn t demanding company, she was absentminded and dreamy, always tired after flying, and got absorbed in gazing at little things around her: a statue of a naked boxer with a towel round his neck, a glass ashtray that reminded one of a fishbowl, a book on the coffee table.
