When Elbert Benjamine mentions that a California celebrity of the 1920s-40s is a personal acquaintance, it helps explain how their natal chart ended up in the Lessons. There are plenty of California politicians, writers and movie stars in the BOL charts, but we cannot assume that Elbert knew them personally unless he tells us so, which he says about several. The most surprising Virgo birthdate I found in the BOL Lessons was Greta Garbo, as the data is from the very outset of her career in the mid-1920s when she is just leaving her teens, and she was already a personal acquaintance of the Benjamines or their advisors on the lessons. Here is a clip from one of her last silent films Love (1927.) Based on the Tolstoy novel Anna Karenina, this silent was soon followed by a 1928 sound version that used the original film and added a soundtrack. The better known and more successful second sound version, Anna Karenina was released in 1935.
