Greta Garbo
Leaving Hollywood at the height of your career is nearly unheard of. But that’s exactly what Greta Garbo did. The three-time Academy Award-nominated actress started her silent film career before speaking debut in Anna Christie in 1930. After a spell of “box office poison.” she decided to retire at the age of 35. Garbo enjoyed a retirement vacation life of leisure. She also started a massive art collection that, by the time she died, was worth millions.
