Did Hitchcock ever want to work with Garbo? I've read quite a few Garbo bios which never mention such a thing, but not having read any Hitchcock bios I don't know if he ever thought about it. I think that would have been quite a pairing.

I think she would have been great in Notorious in the Ingrid Bergman part. But they didn't really need her because they had Bergman.
Janet! Donkeys!

Well, that certainly would have been interesting!

Hitchcock campaigned heavily for her to star in The Paradine Case (1947). She turned it down.
In the frozen land of Nador they were forced to eat Robins minstrels. And there was much rejoicing.

She might have been The Ultimate Cool Blonde!

Thank you Robert.
It was viewing My Cousin Rachel one day (Daphne Du Maurier, but not directed by Hitchcock) that made me think of this. I thought how the actress looked so much like Garbo - I didn't realize it was Olivia de Havilland! They obviously tried to make her look like Garbo and I think Garbo would have been great in that role.
One can only wonder how Hitch would have photographed Garbo.

She would have been great in that part. Thanks, Robert.

Maybe, just maybe, she might have been a contender for the Dietrich role in "Stage Fright"?

I'm not sure, but it's unlikely. Hitchcock's first movie in Hollywood wasn't until 1940 (Rebecca). Greta Garbo retired from film in 1941. They really didn't get a chance. I don't think that Garbo would have been Hitchcock's style either.
