I'm assuming that sort of thing continues to this day despite the WGA. Perhaps if the payoff is high enough the real writers keep their mouths shut. The whole thing sounds very unethical.

You'd have burst my bubble had you said that the closeup at the end wasn't Garbo's, but of some Garbo impersonator or other. Now, thanks for letting me know. I have your book here, though I must admit I haven't read it, yet. So, that's gonna be my next one. By the way, looking forward to your upcoming Irving Thalberg bio. You didn't burst my bubble, Mark!

Her credits were a payoff for acting a a liaison to Garbo. I have documented this sad fact in my book Greta Garbo: A Cinematic Legacy. Bye, Mark DearAndre:
