GARBO: Screen goddess Greta Garbo, who died Sunday at age 84 (F1), once was set to marry actor John Gilbert in Orange County. . . . Garbo and Gilbert, the silent era’s most torrid pair who had starred together in two films, “A Woman of Affairs” and “Flesh and the Devil,” were rumored to have arrived in Santa Ana in the late 1920s for a quickie wedding. But legend says that Garbo got cold feet. Garbo never married and was never again seen in Orange County.
