Marlene by Marlene Dietrich

Marlene by Marlene Dietrich

Film star. Cabaret sensation. Recording artist. Writer. Marlene Dietrich was nothing short of enchanting--and remains so as she chronicles her fabulous rise to stardom in Marlene. From her early career in Germany as a chorus girl to her breakout role as Lola in The Blue Angel (1930) to her courageous wartime tours, Dietrich recounts a life that captivates on the page just as she smoldered on the screen. She writes passionately of her friends, including Charlie Chaplin, Orson Welles, and Edith Piaf, among many others, and shares memories of what she considers 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.

Journalist Henry-Jean Servat worked successively at the French daily newspapers Midi Libre and Libération and at Paris Match for twenty-five years; he appears regularly on several French television channels, including France 2 and France 3. He wrote Brigitte Bardot: My Life in Fashion (Flammarion, 2016).
