: Garbo was called 'the most secretive of all movie stars'; clearly the paranoid personality is reluctant to reveal much of anything, fearing that information could somehow be used against them. That would explain Garbo's notorious refusal of interviews. Millon describes a subtype of the Paranoid Personality called the Insular Paranoid, which is a mix-type of the paranoid with traits of the avoidant personality; characteristically 'they may isolate themselves for long periods....they may engage in abstruse intellectual activities'
