Greta Garbo: The Mysterious Lady
BIOGRAPHY® traces this mysterious star's life -- from her poor childhood in Stockholm through her early years in Hollywood silent films to her smooth transition to talkies with her low, throaty voice. Known for her reclusiveness, the less she spoke, the more the public and the press pursued her. In particular, her exotic love affairs were followed closely, even long after she retired from film.
GRETA GARBO: THE MYSTERIOUS LADY features clips from her sensual performance opposite John Gilbert in the MGM silent film FLESH AND THE DEVIL, her sound film debut, her final two comedy films, and rare clips of Garbo on the streets of New York City in the 1970s. Interviews include acquaintances, walking companions, biographers, journalists, and a photographer who spent twelve years of his life stalking Garbo during her final years. Karen Swenson, author of Greta Garbo: A Life Apart, was a consultant for the program.
If you’re on the hunt for a TV series that combines historical charm with family drama and a touch of humor, look no further than "The Little History of France." This French show has quickly gained popularity for its unique premise: it explores the lives and relationships of famous historical figures' cousins. With five seasons and an impressive 517 episodes, this series promises to keep viewers entertained while imparting bits of history in an engaging format.
At the heart of "The Little History of France" are its vibrant characters, each expertly portrayed by a talented cast. Alban Ivanov shines as François d'Arc, effortlessly bringing humor to his role while also highlighting the complexities that come with being part of a notable family. Alongside him is David Salles as Jean Plancher, whose previous roles have shown his versatility as an actor. The ensemble cast also features Ophélia Kolb as Ysabeau, Karina Marimon as Renata Plancher, and François Levantal playing Comte Philippe Honoré de Roche Saint-Pierre—a character sure to intrigue fans with his aristocratic flair.
One aspect that sets "The Little History of France" apart from other shows is its clever blending of comedy with historical narratives. Much like other popular shows such as "Relatively Nat & Liv" or "Cousins for Life," it dives deep into familial ties but does so through a humorous lens that keeps audiences laughing while they learn. The creators Frank Cimière, Jamel Debbouze, and Laurent Tiphaine skillfully craft episodes filled with witty dialogues and unexpected twists that make even history buffs chuckle.
