Beschrijving boek
Maria Riva has written the full-scale, hitherto-untold story of Marlene Dietrich - the Berlin child, the young actress, the wife, mother, lover and, for more than half a century, the international star - as no one but her daughter could.
Riva was almost constantly, from earliest childhood, her mother’s companion, helper, confidante. Her total recall and her sense of the detail and texture of her mother’s, as well as her father’s, life powerfully evoke a world - both in Hollywood and in Europe - beyond most readers’ imaginings. The reader discovers the extraordinary details of Dietrich’s life, from glove fittings in Vienna and the Napoleonic logistics of Dietrich’s travels … to passionate meetings or exchanges of letters with John Gilbert, Brian Aherne, Erich Maria Remarque, Mercedes De Acosta, Jean Gabin, Edith Piaf, Gary Cooper and John Wayne … to Dietrich’s total command of every detail - no matter how great and powerful her director - of her own film performance … to fascinating first-time, close-up glimpses of international film, stage and literary circles from the 1920s to the 1960s.
Maria Riva’s book is distinguished by its clarity and tone, at once objective and intensely feeling, its truthfulness and its appreciation of Dietrich as myth and reality.
