Wunderbar Deutschland II

Marlene Dietrich


Gosto da pose de diva a sério, gosto da voz profunda, gosto dos filmes. Só é meia-alemã porque adoptou a nacionalidade americana e teve elações turbulentas com a Alemanha e em particular Berlim. Mas como a oferta é escassa, aqui fica.

"Starting with her breakthrough role as the sultry, unfaithful Lola Lola in The Blue Angel (Der blaue Engel) in 1930, Marlene Dietrich, the “Kraut” (as Ernest Hemingway called his pal), went on to make film history with her alluring looks in films such as Blonde Venus (1932), Destry Rides Again (1939), Witness for the Prosecution (1957), and Judgment at Nuremberg (1961). In a varied career of acting, singing, and dancing, Dietrich conquered Las Vegas and Broadway in the 1960s, and made a world tour in the 1970s. Over a period of several decades Marlene Dietrich was the ultimate Hollywood woman of mystery and a symbol of erotic allure for several generations of moviegoers." (mais)
