Summary:Vincent Price had many encounters with the legendary Greta Garbo, beginning in the 1930s when he was a student at Yale. In this article written for The Yale Review, Price remembers those indelible moments. This story has been entered on the data base in 2 parts. This is part 1. "Remember someone gone," I am asked.

Encounters with these legends, unless in the course of work, are for the most part fleeting, if not wishful imagining.
