Greta Garbo
It is hard to understand why anyone would leave Hollywood at the height of their career. Greta Garbo decided to do exactly this. Before she debuted in Anna Christie in 1930, the talented actress first starred in silent films. She made the call to resign after she was dubbed “box office poision.” At the time, she had been 35 years old. She went on to live a happy life that involved a lot of traveling and recreation. The actress also launched an art collection before she died. It is now worth millions!
