*I actually talked to Garbo once. Sydney Guilaroff was doing Natalie’s hair on Splendor in the Grass when the phone rang. It was a woman who wanted to talk to Sydney.
“Who’s calling?” I asked.
“Garbo,” she snapped.
“Oh.” I think my heart stopped. “Well, let me get him for you.”
That was it. Robert Wagner, intimate of legends.
