Greer Garson’s Near Death Experience
Monday, September 19th, 2011
In the spring of 1946 while filming Desire Me with Robert Mitchum, actress Greer Garson almost drowned! She was filming a shrimp gathering scene on a rocky shore when a huge wave swept her off a rock and into the ocean. A local skipper of sardine fishing boat rescued Miss Garson who was badly cut and bruised during the incident. She was taken to the local hospital and then to her Pebble Beach summer home to recover under a physician’s care.
