[QUOTE="ginnyfan, post: 339155, member: 174"] I'm always amazed when I think about MGM in the early 1940s. This very unique, transition period from 1940 until 1943, when they had a staggering number of huge stars, including the both sets of their leading ladies, the old ones from 1930s and the new, replacements that are to rule the 1940s. I mean, in those few years you had Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer, Katharine Hepburn, Greer Garson, Lana Turner, Myrna Loy, Judy Garland, Hedy Lamarr, all working on the same lot. What a time to be alive! Plus in 1942/43 the young Elizabeth Taylor arrived and Ava Gardner was already a bit player. It's crazy. It's such a shame that iconic 1943 group photo was taken at the moment when Garbo/Joan/Norma already departed or were about to leave. Imagine having all of them together, in the same photo! Though I can't imagine Garbo appearing, even if it was taken in 1933. In the photo, Miss Garson takes the central position, next to LB Mayer, symbolic of her status at the studio throughout the decade.
