Swedish movie stars died in Tuberculosis
Here are 1 famous actresses from Sweden died in Tuberculosis:
Alva Garbo
Alva Garbo (September 20, 1903 Stockholm-April 21, 1926 Stockholm) also known as Alva Maria or Alva Gustafsson was a Swedish actor.
She began her career in the theater before transitioning to films in 1924. Garbo quickly gained popularity due to her beauty and skillful performances in dramatic roles. She starred in several silent films in Sweden before catching the attention of Hollywood executives, who brought her to the United States in 1925.
In Hollywood, Garbo starred in several successful films, including "The Torrent" and "Flesh and the Devil," which sparked a frenzy among fans and earned her the nickname "The Swedish Sphinx." However, Garbo's heavy Swedish accent proved challenging for the transition to talkies, and she retired from acting in 1941 at the age of 35.
Garbo's legacy as one of Hollywood's greatest icons lived on long after her retirement, and she remains a cultural icon to this day. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked her fifth on their list of the greatest female stars of classic Hollywood cinema.
