Classic Movies in a Classic Mansion

When the great beauties of Hollywood are mentioned, for some reason, Greer Garson’s name is never among them. Yet, she was one of the most natural beauties of the Silver Screen! Granted, she was a “mature beauty” but a beauty never the less. In the 1940s, she single-handedly replaced Greta Garbo, Jeanette MacDonald, Norma Shearer, and Joan Crawford as MGM’s leading lady. She managed to remain MGM’s top box-office star during this time period as well. She and Bette Davis still hold the record of being the only actresses nominated for Best Actress five years consecutively. We at the Charles Allis Art Museum are happy to be doing our very first retrospective of Miss Garson’s career. Our selection of films will give you an example of Miss Garson’s range as an actress, including dramas, costume epics, romantic comedies, and her most famous role, the Academy Award winning, Mrs. Miniver.
