When Greta Garbo died on April 15, 1990, I stepped out of my comfort zone of fashionable society to write about her final days in her beloved East Midtown Manhattan, the one place where she could truly find the peace and solitude she had long craved. And discovered she had very fashionable friends and lived in a social bubble all her own. My cover story, Garbo’s Last Days, appeared in New York magazine a month later.
