I loved her in "Mrs. Miniver", but I think my favorite Greer Garson movie is "Random Harvest" with Ronald Colman. A tear-jerker of the first degree, but excellently acted.
omg i don't know what it is about her but when she talks it is so captivating; she could be talking about madness and you'd still be listening with absolute attention
Greer Garson has always been my favorite actress, so talented, a class act and stunningly beautiful. I loved all her movies but my favorite was "Adventure" with Clarke Gable and Joan Blondel. It was the first movie Gable made after returning from the service in WWII. The headlines for the movie was "Gable's back and Garson's got him" It is very hard to find. I haven't seen it on TV in years. I have it in VHS tape and treat it like gold!!
@jhr459 So glad to find another fan to share the love of this highly gifted actress with. I adore Mrs. Miniver and it's sequel as well. It's hard to keep a dry eye while watching. I love Mr. Chips, her first film too. She was breath taking, I just wish she was in the movie longer. Although I understand why she wasn't. God bless & Peace be with you.
In Hollywood she was a queen social bee. Loved people, people loved her. Sophisticated, witty. As an actress, she established a remarkably broad range, even succeeding as Eleanor Roosevelt. "Mrs. Miniver" was her golden moment but actually she enjoyed many golden moments. If you have not seen "Pride and Prejudice" you must see it. I love all the Elizabeth Bennets, particularly Kiera Knightley, but Greer Garson it's general agreed established the role with indelible flavor.
Just saw two of her great old movies this weekend: "Goodbye, Mr. Chips" and her well- deserved Oscar-winning performance as "Mrs. Miniver." They sure don't make ANY movies like those anymore.
In the '58 show, Miss Garson was dressed as her character she was playing at the time...Auntie Mame and she mentions what 8 shows a week had done to her voice.
I am not of Ms. Greer Garson's generation, but being raised on the classics & a cinema buff. I fell in love with her movies & have some taped on VHS tapes from TCM. She & Myrna Loy became tied for 1st place as my top fav actresses. It really has been a hard struggle, but I had to finally decide on which is my fav movie. Tied between Valley Of Decision, Random Harvest & Adventure. Did Garson & Loy ever do a film together? Thank you & God Bless you.
The moment when Bennett Cerf cannot determine whether it's a boy or girl then asked,"Are you a female?" She try to stop her laugh then burst out xD Greer Garson
@outerspaceoutpost - Neither am I of her generation, but I am totally enamored with her - and especially Mrs. Miniver - I watch it everytime it comes on TCM.
Enormously popular in the film colony. A great hostess. Her range as an actress was wide; she could do anything and did. She was one of the few actresses at M-G-M who could stand up to Louis B. Mayer and get her way. She could be stubborn when she needed to be, but always pleasant and logical. She had a very long career, aging beautiful and moving on to older roles impeccably. Her portrayal of Eleanor Roosevelt was magnificient, right on the mark with no sense of parody.
Wayne Brasler Unfortunately her career broke very much down after age 53. She got no more roles and therefore retired after having married a rich Texan. This is such a HUUUGE waste of potential that I am still mad at the sexist idiots who robbed us of the joy of her great talent far too early!
She always said she was born in Ireland, but when they found her birth certificate it shows she was born in London. However she did have familiy in Nothern Ireland, I believe. What a shame they didn't do the 'one question at a time, in turn, moving clockwise',because that way she could probably have fooled them longer. Such a funny accent coming from her! Great actress, full of energy and intelligence.
gosh i loved her in pride and prejudice, and she was absolutely stunning. man, they dont make them like that no more! although i am not in the position to say as i was born in 1987 :p
sonjaxfactor, a) Bennett Cerf was EXTREMELY clever at figuring out who the guests were, clearly a man of great intelligence; b) all of the panelists tried to keep informed about celebrities who were in town, because it helped them at mystery-guest time.
LOL i love this. clearly mgm should have let her play a manicurist. with a bustle, of course. thank you for posting! i've been hoping some greer tv appearances would start showing up.
@musicalqueen101 Not even close in acting talent...Greer Garson was much superior. Mirren admits one of the reasons she got so many roles is because she was good at getting her "kit off" (Doing nude scenes). I can't say too much bad about that however as I took for my last name her most famous of nude roles "Caligula". Back to Garson, alot of folks felt she should've been ashamed for her second marriage to Richard Ney, 15 years her jr. She was typecast in "Minever-type" roles forever

A devastating combination of dignity and beauty. Absolutely gorgeous.
A true star. Loved her in Random Harvest.
Loved it! what a wonderful real speaking voice she has! great woman!
Greer Garson was a wonderful actress. She dominated the screen with her looks, charisma and her enchanting voice.
I loved her in "Mrs. Miniver", but I think my favorite Greer Garson movie is "Random Harvest" with Ronald Colman. A tear-jerker of the first degree, but excellently acted.
Greer Garson was a knockout till the day she died, true beauty never fades
Her voice is just so. . . . amazing! The way she says "Why Thank you" at 3:34 is just so rich. Love her. Too bad she got picked so fast
omg i don't know what it is about her but when she talks it is so captivating; she could be talking about madness and you'd still be listening with absolute attention

Man I wish I heard her lecture shes so gorgeous and captivating Id listen tio anything she said. wondeful voice and so charming!
I love her speaking voice. She's lovely : )
Love, love, love Greer Garson
Always a pleasure to see Greer Garson!
Nice video clip.
I love her accent just as much as i love her
Greer Garson had the perfect female voice...bar none.
Greer was simply STUNNING
Cool! Miss Garson is great, I love her!
I cried as a child when I saw her in Madame Curie. She was also amazing in Mrs. Miniver. Both movies are great if you haven't seen them.
She's talking about Greer's gorgeous flaming red hair. Just lovely!
In the '58 show, Miss Garson was dressed as her character she was playing at the time...Auntie Mame and she mentions what 8 shows a week had done to her voice.

She's so fun and classy; I love her!
"I can't even determine the sex"
Well you mustve known some pretty interesting men then!
The moment when Bennett Cerf cannot determine whether it's a boy or girl then asked,"Are you a female?" She try to stop her laugh then burst out xD Greer Garson
the only thing funnier would be to have Judy Holliday showing up and trying to fool the panel by putting on a Greer Garson accent
Everyone should watch the original (1940) version of "Pride and Prejudice" -- it's great, and she's great in it!
@outerspaceoutpost - Neither am I of her generation, but I am totally enamored with her - and especially Mrs. Miniver - I watch it everytime it comes on TCM.
I love the accent! haha Greer is great!
Absolutely adore her! :)

I feel like watch a Greer Garson film now.
Wow - this is so much fun !!!!
You can Get "Little Drummer with her narrating on DVD.
LMAO, I love her giggle fits and her "yeah i took advantage of it"

@MPL029 Garson's acceptance speech was long by Oscar standards but not 90 minutes. I heard something like a little under a half hour.
Loved her in Ramdom Harvest.
My favorite of all actresses. Check out "Random Harvest" a great movie.
Greer.. hubba, hubba...
The name Greer means she is a MacGregor. Greer is a contraction of MacGregor and was her mother's maiden name.
Yes, it's been firmly established that she was born in London. Why it's even in Wikipedia!
In her 1958 appearance the beautiful voice is gone, as she holds a cigarette during her questioning.
LOL i love this. clearly mgm should have let her play a manicurist. with a bustle, of course.
thank you for posting! i've been hoping some greer tv appearances would start showing up.
Ha! The accent she's doing sounds like Brooklyn with a trace of Cockney.
Actually her speech was only 5 minutes long!
is it just my comp or is there no sound for this?

It’s perfectly fine when men do it.
What charakteristik (?) does she mean?
Red hair
