Amusing original photograph of the actress and international star posing rather unhappily with the track team of the University of Southern California, dressed in their uniform. She had apparently been ordered to pose for the picture by MGM shortly after arriving in the US in 1926, and initially refused, capitulating only when the studio threatened to deduct $25 from her salary! Yellow pencil square around Garbo's image; some light scratches and mounting remnants, with picture service stamp and notes on the verso; overall in very good condition. 9 x 7 inches (24.7 x 18.5 cm).
