Synopsis:
“Marlene
Deitrich was considered one of the most glamorous stars of her day. A
determined perfectionist with an incredible ego, her beauty, her style, her
sense of the outrageous, made her a star.
“In this
candid, illuminating, and detailed biography full of photographs, her only
daughter Maria Riva, tells the incredible, fascinating, story of the star’s
life and career, loves and hates, hits and misses, as only a daughter can.”
And from the reviews:
“Gossipy .
. . Elaborately detailed . . . Greatly entertaining . . . Riva leaves no sequin
unturned.”—The New York Times
