Greer Garson - The Duchess

Eileen Evelyn Greer Garson (born in Manor Park, Essex on September 29, 1904) was a British-American actress. Her air of controlled maturity and understated elegance lent to her being referred to as "The Duchess."

She graduated with a B.A. with honors in English in 1926 at King's College London and did postgraduate work and studied French theater at the University of Grenoble in 1927. Starting out later as an actress, her early professional appearances were on stage, starting at Birmingham Repertory Theatre.

Louis B. Mayer discovered Garson while in London looking for new talent. In 1937, Garson signed with MGM, where she became a major box-office star. Her portrayal of strong women brought her critical acclaim, earning Oscar nods in films such as Mrs. Miniver (1942) and  The Valley of Decision (1945).

She only made a few films after her contract expired, but continued to appear on television. In 1967, she retired at Forked Lightning Ranch in New Mexico and focused on philanthropic interests.

She lived her final years in a penthouse suite at the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, where she died from heart failure at 91.

Happy Birthday Greer Garson! Born Eileen Evelyn Greer Garson September  29th 1904 Manor Park, East Ham, Essex, England, UK

“Every day I get letters from people anxious to achieve something - such as a Hollywood career. "Miss Garson," they ask me, "how can I become a star?" I can't answer their questions. I don't know the answers. If I did, I'd broadcast to the world the magic words. But all I know about getting anywhere you want is that there are three very essential things: wanting, trying-- and getting opportunity, the breaks. None works alone without the others. Wanting is basic. Trying is up to you. And the breaks--I do know this--they always happen”.
