before DVDs/PCs/etc, adventure was something people would do more of or they would read about it.....so being a spy was something 'to do'<>adventure....reminds of of Robert Hanssen, or Chris Boyce [ the Falcon ]<>self made spies, ...really incredible, when you think about it....they know it's wrong, and can get into big trouble[ which they did ] but they still do it......self made, good point.....I've read a few books on Garbo.....your article states he had ''raw imagination'...! he acted/was an ''actor''....I think the majority of people are afraid to 'act' in front of others....sounds like he was living his dream, as the article states he was a dreamer....

 

"Garbo" was a chicken farmer ?....Theres a German fellow who had the same occupation....interesting. ...
