17. Greta Garbo

If there’s one actor who epitomizes the act of leaving a film career behind it’s Greta Garbo. The Swedish beauty was the queen of early Hollywood, with roles in silent and talkie movies that earned her three Oscar nominations by the time she was 36. Then she up and walked away from life in front of the camera. She became a recluse who loathed the paparazzi and just wanted to be left alone. She even chose not to attend the 1955 Academy Awards where she won an honorary Oscar.
