QM2 TO FEATURE GARBO AUCTION, LECTURE

No one loves classic Hollywood movies more than Pam. And who is more classic than film legend Greta Garbo? Movie fans will have a rare chance to view and buy Garbo memorabilia and learn about her life on the Queen Mary 2's Transatlantic crossing set for Nov. 20, 2012.

Julien’s Auctions of Beverly Hills will feature "several of her most photographed belongings, including her iconic cashmere turtleneck and vintage umbrella, used to shield herself from paparazzi. Relics from Garbo's world travels, including her vintage Louis Vuitton suitcase, travel watch and a luggage tag bearing her travel alias, will also be on display" as well.

Additionally, Garbo’s great nephew, Derek Reisfield, will headline Cunard's on board enrichment program, Cunard Insights, "where he will provide a personal account of her life and iconic Hollywood career." Reisfield "will recall personal stories from the actress’ life, learned during his weekly, childhood gatherings with her. Topics will also include career highlights, Garbo’s personal relationships with dignitaries and celebrities such as President John F. Kennedy, Sir Winston Churchill and William Randolph Hearst, and will highlight her lesser-known historical contributions to American and British military intelligence during World War II."

Remembering her classic "I want to be alone" scene from "Grand Hotel":
