Although they were both well before my time, I have to say that I think I would prefer to have sat down for a chat or dinner with Greta Garbo.
Nothing against Marlene, but I think that Greta established herself as a star in the silent film era and was able to transition to the talkies easily. It would have been interesting to hear about the comparison of the two eras from someone who experienced them.
Grabo also looks/sounds to me like she was a more friendly and thoughtful person, albeit someone who enjoyed her privacy.
Interestingly enough, she claims she was misquoted when she said "I want to be alone". She actually said "I want to be LET alone.". Even then, the media and paparazzi had started getting on the nerves of public figures.

This is a travel forum. You might find better answers in an Entertainment forum. But since you ask, the wovewy Marwene Dietwich is my favowite.
