[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 339114, member: 5079"] Yes I think Garson inherited Shearer's general position at MGM. The studio probably saw Hedy Lamarr as their Garbo replacement, although she fell well short. I suppose the new Crawford was Turner. I've never seen Garson in anything, but I've always imagined her being unbearably stuffy. That interview was slyly bitchy. If that persona ever came across in her performances, I'm suddenly intrigued. I'm not entirely convinced by her story, though. Even in her waning days, Shearer was still effectively the queen of the studio. It's very probable that MRS. MINIVER was offered to her in some capacity; it's equally plausible that Garson was told she was the first and only choice. Trying to find the truth in Old Hollywood accounts is a daunting task; one has to scrape away multiple, conflicting accounts of self-mythologizing. [/QUOTE]
