2 Read the article and check your answers to 1. 
Born: 1980 Height: 1m 72 Weight: 51 kg 
Hometown: London job: Snowboarder and model 
Charlotte Dutton has two jobs. Half the year she's a top model in Europe, and 
the other half she's a professional snowboarder in Canada. Here she talks about 
the problems of having two careers. 
'I love modelling and snowboarding,' she says, 'but I have to be two 
 5 different people! You need muscles to be a snowboarder, but you have to 
be slim to be a model. When I'm modelling I can't eat anything fattening. But 
in the mountains it's freezing, so you have to eat protein, 
cakes and chocolate, for the jumps and turns, you have 
to be strong. Snowboarding is sometimes dangerous, 
10 and I often fall. But I have to be careful because 
I can't break my leg and then go to Paris to 
model the best skirts. It's funny 
half the year I have to wear 
warm baggy clothes and a 
15' crash helmet. Then I go to 
Europe for a season, 
and I have to wear 
beautiful designer clothes.' Does 
she want to be a top 
20 international model or an Olympic 
snowboarder? The answer is she 
wants to do both ... but when 
she's much older, she dreams 
of living in a bakery and 
 25 eating cakes all day!

I WANT TO BE ALONE 
Ollwood legend, Greta Garbo, was one of the most 
glamorous and mysterious stars of cinema in the 
1920s and 30s. She was born in Sweden 
in 1906 and started life as Greta Gustafsson. She left 
school at the age of fourteen but when she was 
seventeen she went to theatre school. 
She changed her name to Garbo when she 
moved to Hollywood. She later became an 
American citizen. 
She appeared in twenty-seven films and got four 
Academy Award nominations. She was not a typical 
Hollywood star. She kept her private life very 
private. She never spoke about her love affairs and 
she didn't sign autographs or give interviews. 
She didn't attend her own premieres, and even 
her own studio didn't have her telephone number. 
In 1932 in the film Grand Hotel she said the famous 
line, 'I want to be alone'. 20 Many people fell in 
love with Garbo, and she 
had several serious relationships. But she never 
got married, and she didn't have any children. At the 
age of thirty-six, Garbo 
retired from cinema. In 1954 she 
25 got a special Academy Award for 
unforgettable performances, but 
she didn't attend the ceremony. 
She moved to New York, 
changed her name to Harriet 
30 Brown and spent the rest of 
her life there - alone. She 
died in 1990 at the age Of 
eighty-four.
