- Anna-Karin Eskilsson is a Swedish actor and entrepreneur that moved to New York to make it in the movies. After 16 years of acting courses and minor parts she was offered the leading role in a biopic of Greta Garbo by Buddy Bregman. However, Bregman's plan to finance the production failed and the project was paused forever. While working as a bartender in New York Anna-Karin Eskilsson was befriended by the Swedish entrepreneur Björn Höglund who claimed that he could find financing for the film about Garbo. When this also failed and Höglund was arrested by police in Los Angeles, Anna-Karin Eskilsson ended her career as an actress.
