The documents, written by Garbo to her close friend Vera Schmiterlow after the actress moved to Hollywood in the 1920s, were reported stolen from the military archives of Sweden last month after a researcher found they were missing, archivist Anders Degerstrom said. Degerstrom said the documents had not been checked out since March 2004, according to archive records. The letters could have been stolen any time since then, he said. This year’s 100th anniversary of Garbo’s birth was celebrated in Sweden with private screenings of her films and an exhibit at the Swedish National Portrait Gallery.
