Salka Viertel (born as Salka Stenermann on June 15, 1889 in Sambor, Ukraine) was an actress and screenplay writer. She died in Klosters, Switzerland, on October 20, 1978.
She co-wrote the scripts for many of the movies starring Greta Garbo, who was also a close friend. She also wrote a memoir The Kindness of Strangers which was published in 1969.
She was married to Berthold Viertel and they had three sons, one of whom, Peter Viertel, is also an accomplished book and screenplay writer. Much has been discussed of Viertel's lesbian relationships, and friendships with both Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich. While Virtel's lesbian relationships are not in dispute, the nature of her close ties with both Garbo and Dietrich have never fully disclosed.
