My Life

My Life by Dietrich, Marlene. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780330313018.

In the Golden Age of Hollywood no one could approach the sensuous, androgynous glamour of Marlene Dietrich. From early success with such erotically charged classics as The Blue Angel and Shanghai Express to Kismet and Destry Rides Again, Marlene came to represent the mysterious beauty of the movies. Now, for the first time, Marlene Dietrich tells her own story. She recounts her childhood in Berlin and tells of her sad return to Germany during the second world war - as an American G.I. She remembers the men who have influenced her, like the svengali director Josef von Sternberg. And the men she has loved, including Ernest Hemingway who said, she understands more about love than anybody else. My Life is a record of a vivid personality with strong opinions, fierce loves and extraordinary wamrth and style. Of a woman whose aura still haunts us today. It is the record of Marlene Dietrich.
