Garbo and Astaire
Many a Hollywood star has never seen nor talked with Greta Garbo. But Fred Astaire’s mother became friendly with the star through a meeting at a lecture series. When she told the dancing star, he asked, “Did you tell her that I’m your son?” Mrs. Astaire replied, “Yes, and she said, ‘Oh, he’s that boy who dances.’”
