4.0 out of 5 stars One of the funniest books I can imagine, December 24, 2000
By Jay Dickson (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Here are Marlene Dietrich's thoughts. All of them. And in no particular order other than alphabetical.

You won't wonder for one second whether or not she had a ghostwriter, because what ghostwriter could ever have dreamed up something as bizarre as this collection of non sequiturs? Her thoughts range not only from "Astaire, Fred" ("Elegant! Elegant! Elegant!") to "Zabaglione" (one of the many, MANY recipes she provides which consists--like most of her recipes--of sugar, egg yolks, and cream, in varying proportions) but also her thoughts on the Beatles, preparing meat, and other topics of mindboggling importance.

After reading this book, you'll never again be able to look at eggs without thinking of La Dietrich's mysterious comment about them: "I love them! I eat them!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious., May 1, 1999
By A Customer
This book is great! Dietrich had a sense of humor, which she displays in this book. She calls it her "gallows humor." The book is an alphabetical list of words, and Dietrich's thoughts on each of them. Some are expected, like "sex," but some are completely out of the blue, like "frying pan." I highly recommend this book to anybody.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS IT!, December 4, 2001
By Derek A. Estes "Film Lover" (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
THIS BOOK IS THE ULTIMATE PORTRAIT OF A LEGEND, IN HER OWN WORDS. AND I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT A DAY BY DAY ACCOUNT, HER VEIWS, OPINIONS, AND RECIPIES, TELL THE READER MORE ABOUT THE WOMAN THAT WAS BEHIND ONE OF THE MOST UNFORGETTABLE IMAGES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. SHE WOULD FOREVER CHANGE THE WAY THE WORLD WOULD LOOK AT WOMEN, AGE, SEX, AND FAME. ESSENTIAL!
