This is the story of one of those pretty creatures who lived on the quicksands of popularity - Marguerite Gautier, who brightened her wit with champagne - and sometimes her eyes with tears.

- Excerpt from George Cukor’s film, “Camille,” starring actress Greta Garbo (1905-1990) and Robert Taylor (1911-1969), 1936.
