Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical | 1985 | Anne
Betty Comden was hired to play Garbo at the end of the film because the producers were sure that the real Garbo either could not be located or would flatly turn them down. However, the producers tried a known associate of Greta Garbo's. He was located and was asked to ask the great actress if she would appear in the film, but the associate never responded.
The film's title is taken from the famous Tinseltown Old Hollywood expression "Garbo Talks" which recognized the significant time that silent film star Greta Garbo was first heard speaking in the talkie Anna Christie (1930) which was a filmed adaptation from the stage play by Eugene O'Neill. The picture was promoted with the slogan tagline GARBO TALKS!.

"Estelle Rolfe: If your head's in the toilet, don't blow bubbles."
"Shepard Plotkin: I'm very busy now, Gilbert. Gilbert Rolfe: I have to talk with you, Mr Plotkin. Shepard Plotkin: Later, Gilbert. Gilbert Rolfe: I have to talk with you now. Shepard, I'm leaving. I am not saying this because I am upset. Well yes I am upset. Of course I'm upset. I'm very upset. You've took my office away and you gave me a depressing, little room. It's, it's not your fault. I allowed it to happen. The light fixture buzzes. There's a dull hum, all day long. Well, you know, you wouldn't fix it for me, no matter how many times I asked. S'okay. You reduced the staff and you gave me enough work for three people to do, and if I didn't finish I got that speech about consolidating more time... Don't worry about it. It is not your problem. I sat there, and I listened, didn't I? You deducted a half-days salary because I was late. No problem. I allowed it to happen. You made me come to work at six in the morning. There was nothing to do at six in the morning and I said to myself, I said Plotkin is enjoying doing this to me. But then I said, No! Rules are rules. The man is only doing his job. That's okay. A man has to do his job. You've been great, you really have. I, I, I wish you, the best of luck. I'm not angry. I, I have no resentment to you. You've, er, you've been great. But we are who we are. I am who I am, you are who you are. So, go fuck yourself Shepard!"
