Welcome to the first Battle Royale here at The Most Beautiful Fraud in the World.   It is an ongoing series that will pit two cinematic greats up against each other – and you can vote for who is the greater by clicking your choice over in the poll at the top of the sidebar.   

For our inaugural Battle Royale we travel to the land of the smörgåsbord and the midnight sun.   Okay, technically Norway is the Land of the Midnight Sun, but close enough, because we are traveling to the beautiful Scandinavian country of Sweden.   The land of the, um…lingonberry?  Yeah, Land of the Midnight Sun just sounds better.   Anyway, we are off to Sweden.  Well, Sweden via Hollywood that is.  So it is time to make your choice.  Who is your favourite beautiful Swedish icon of cinema?  Is it the enigmatic Greta Lovisa Gustafsson, better known as Greta Garbo?  Or perhaps it is the spectacular Ingrid Bergman who strikes your cinematic fancy.  Who is the best of these two talented and lovely Swedish born icons?   Only you can tell – with your votes. 

Go to The Most Beautiful Fraud in the World and vote in this poll now.  A new Battle Royale will be posted every three weeks.
