It’s extremely difficult to imagine that a Hollywood legend such as the great Greta Garbo never tied the knot even though she lived to the distinguished age of 84 years young. Ms. Garbo led a very private life, especially after she retired from working as an actress in 1941 at the young age of 35. Apparently she came close one time, really close actually. In 1927 she was engaged to her longtime love, Jack Gilbert, and the two had a date planned and everything. However, when it came down to the day, Garbo left Gilbert waiting at the altar.
