From Library Journal
As Marlene, the German-born Maria Magdalena Dietrich (1901-92) was a charismatic movie actress of the 1930s and 1940s. Like Greta Garbo, Dietrich symbolizes glamour and mystery. There are numerous books about the legend, including the star's own Marlene ( LJ 4/1/89). Riva, Dietrich's daughter, here adds her account. As anticipated, Riva's perspective is unique and affecting. Using her mother's diary, radiograms, and letters, she gives proper weight to Dietrich's youth, her experience on the Berlin stage, her collaboration with director Josef Von Sternberg (e.g., The Blue Angel , 1930; Morocco , 1930), and her latter-day triumphs on stage and as a chanteuse. There are arresting tales here (father and stepfather killed in World War I; a stint entertaining U.S. troops during the Battle of the Bulge; affairs with legends of the screen and other arts) that give the reader a true grasp of both biographer and subject. Recommended for public libraries and film collections.Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 9/15/92. --Kim Holston, American Inst. for Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters, Malvern, Pa.

Marlene Dietrich's daughter was her closest companion, helper and confidante. This abridged biography reveals Dietrich as a child, actress, wife, mother, lover and international star (although it ends mysteriously after a hospital stay in the mid-1970's and does not include her recent death). Narrator Maria Riva is absolutely wonderful. Her wit and honesty are a delight. Her pace and tone are just right. This is a loving, if sometimes harsh, though always revealing, audio portrait of a one-of-a-kind star. As an audio presentation, this is first-rate. M.R.
