[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 381856, member: 5079"] Their careers, in the '30s, was somehow so similar and yet so different. There were obvious parallels in their roles; they both played fallen women, spies and queens. The differences in style may have had more to do with their respective studios than the actresses themselves: MGM's stuffy grandness versus Paramount's Continental randiness. They paralleled for a final time in '39, when both attempted to revive their careers through comedy. But whereas Dietrich's rowdy turn in DESTRY RIDES AGAIN gave her career life for the next four decades, Garbo's more sophisticated NINOTCHKA provided no such longevity. [/QUOTE]
