|  | A Rose for Mrs. Miniver by Michael Troyan
In the darkest days of World War II, Greer Garson was Hollywood's most inspiring icon of strength and courage. Her work in Mrs. Miniver was rewarded with an Academy Award in 1941. This biography sweeps away the many myths that even today veil Garson's life, exploring the triumphs and tragedies of her personal life, a story more colorful than any role she played on screen. 40 photos.
