<DIV><b>A fascinating self-portrait of one of the greatest entertainers of Hollywood&rsquo;s golden age </b><b><BR></b></div><DIV><BR>Film star. Cabaret sensation. Recording artist. Writer. Marlene Dietrich was nothing short of enchanting&mdash;and remains so as she chronicles her fabulous rise to stardom in <i>Marlene</i>. From her early career in Germany as a chorus girl to her breakout role as Lola in <i>The Blue Angel</i> 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&mdash;including Charlie Chaplin, Orson Welles, and Edith Piaf, among many others&mdash;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, <i>Marlene</i> reminds us why Dietrich remains an international icon and a true Hollywood legend. </div>
