Garbo (2005)

TCM documentary on the elusive Swedish born actress. Perhaps most interesting thing I learned was about Garbo's strange obsession with trousers, and her penchant to describe herself using male terms, i.e. "When I was a little boy." Some people have taken this as evidence that Garbo was a bisexual, though the only affairs of hers we know about are with men, most notably the actor John Gilbert. She seemed to keep a core of gay men around her in her later years, if I'm reading some of the movies talking heads correctly.
