Greta Garbo in The Joyless Street (1925)

“What was miraculous about Garbo was her innate mystique. It is difficult to describe a face of such radiant beauty…When an actor or actress walks on stage and you suddenly become aware that the stage has been lit up, that everyone’s eyes are fixed on the person in question – that kind of magnetism is nothing short of miraculous.” - Rouben Mamoulian
