Stevie Nicks performing the song, "Garbo".

Stevie wrote the song "Garbo" after the photo shoot for the Buckingham/Nicks album cover, where she posed topless. She said this song was about having to do things in the business you did not want to do.. She also said she had just spent her "last $200" on a beautiful blouse, and hadn't eaten for days to look great in it...and they wanted her to be topless..she was devastated--but did it...

She then thought of Greta Garbo, and how she probably had to do lots of things she didn't want to do along with the other actress in Hollywood.

Garbo lyrics

I love to waltz with a man in a dark linen suit
All alone-at a party with someone I knew
From a time gone by turned into stone
You could be Garbo or even Marlene
You could be Marilyn...
Or you could forget
I play the part but then all of us do
And I do it so well as I do it to you
In this town full of strangers
In this town full of fools

Venus doesn't glitter when she stands next to you
When you're waltzing through stardom
You miss what you lose
Lose yourself in a silvery dress
For you think you must do what you feel you do best
And you mustn't give it up for you're still but a guest
You could be Garbo or even Marlene
Or you could forget...
