Schlee and Valentina;

Schlee was domineering, possessive, jealous, but Garbo was clearly relieved to have a worldly and capable man take care of her affairs, escort her everywhere, plan her life, protect her. A friend of hers, Nicholas Turner, said, “He had absolute control. When he didn’t want to do something, they didn’t do it. No matter how she felt about it … She liked very much to get compliments from men. This made Schlee very upset. He was as jealous as the devil. I don’t think he could tolerate having her exposed to other people, especially interesting or attractive men. Whenever that happened—and it happened several times [on the cruise they had all been on together]—he would invent some excuse for cutting the trip short … so we would put into a port, and they would hire a car to take them back to their place. She never objected, never said a contrary word. Schlee dominated her completely.” Some people felt that she found in him an echo of Stiller, whom he even slightly resembled. And the consensus is that they weren’t lovers—another echo of her relationship with Stiller.
