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.
