Marlene

Film star. Cabaret sensation. Recording artist. Writer. Marlene Dietrich was nothing short of enchanting and remains so even today. In this book she chronicles her fabulous rise to stardom. From her early career in Germany as a chorus girl to her breakout role as Lola in The Blue Angel to her courageous wartime tours, Dietrich recounts a life that captivates on the page just as she smouldered on the screen. She writes passionately of her friends including Charlie Chaplin, Orson Welles, and Edith Piaf, among many others and she shares memories of what she calls her greatest accomplishment: entertaining the Allied troops during World War II. A sustained expression of her bold, sophisticated style, Marlene reminds us why Dietrich remains an international icon and a true Hollywood legend.
