Gortner, which falls into the biographical novel category. It was well done, for the most part, but I couldn't help but wonder, what parts were fact, what parts were fiction.
So, I set out to find a non-fiction biography of the legendary actress, and stumbled upon this one, written by Dietrichs daughter, Maria Riva.
This book was originally released, I think in or 93, but has been reissued and is also available in digital format.
I put this book on hold at the library, as pre-release, and received a copy much quicker than I expected. But, this book was very well received for the most part, so I decided to give it a shot.
So, how did it measure up? First off, this book draws from so many personal documents, such as diaries, telegrams, letters, and photographs.
They are included here, unedited, and speak for themselves, but Riva adds her personal memories of these events, giving the reader an intimate look at the woman behind the legend.
Having some prior knowledge about Marlene did help me navigate through the book a little faster, since I was already familiar with some of the topics covered, but this is a very hefty book and will require a little bit of time to go through.
However, I found it to be an easy read, and it appears to confirm much of what was covered in the Gortner book. Maria did portray her mother in a realistic way, exposing the darker side of growing up with a famous and a glamourous actress for a mother, while paying homage to that incredible era of time, and all those incredibly talented people, trends, and of course, a few scandals.
Did she fudge? Probably, to some extent, she painted herself out to be put upon by her overbearing and self-absorbed mother. But, nothing here was a shock in my opinion.
No doubt, Maria's recollections rankled some big fans of Marlene, who would prefer the 'Hollywood' image over reality, while others will take gleeful delight in seeing Marlene's mythical reputation debunked.
The one area, Marlene succeeded in giving anything back was the work she did during WW2, which, as far as I'm concerned is the most meaningful contribution she made in her life.
This is an opinion I had formed before I started this book, and I think this book validates that judgement. Yet, I still admire the contributions Marlene made to film, I loved her image, her style, all the glamour, mystery, and the unapologetic way she approached the stage and film.
But, as they say, Hollywood is mostly smoke and mirrors, and this book will remind you of that old adage, if you ever had any doubts.
Overall, the book is well organized, informative, and while I did know what to expect in some ways, it was still very enlightening, despite the sly 'revenge' factor.
View all 16 comments. The pretension of writing about Marlene Dietrich is annoying. The attitude Riva has toward any aspect of her mother's character, any conflict in her mother's life, any aspect of her career or a relationship-- predictable with almost complete accuracy based on whether it's something that seems "European" such as lascivious behavior with other women and Riva justifying her hatred for her mother based The pretension of writing about Marlene Dietrich is annoying.
The attitude Riva has toward any aspect of her mother's character, any conflict in her mother's life, any aspect of her career or a relationship-- predictable with almost complete accuracy based on whether it's something that seems "European" such as lascivious behavior with other women and Riva justifying her hatred for her mother based mostly on her father's horrifying abuse of a mistress named Tami while her father gets away with almost no criticism constantly, because unlike Dietrich he was happy to spoil Riva with gifts of houses is annoying at best.
When this book isn't Riva presenting yet another time her mother was a European slut while she was a soft American saint, there are a lot of copies of telegrams and letters and some photos, a sense of Dietrich as having an extravagant generosity comes through, kind of slavish devotion to giving people the best when your only resource is your physicality.
Which is what makes this attack on Dietrich's image so difficult to read, it sounds like her image was the only thing she really had for herself.

There are great autobiographies or memoirs written by friends of celebrities that consist of personal information and small tidbits that greatly interest readers.
Then there are biographies, often more informational and objective than autobiographies. This book is composed of both which makes it one of the best books about a celebrity around.
Maria Riva is the daughter of legend Marlene Dietrich, an androgynous star of the s, 40s, 50s, and 60s. One would believe that a daughter would be the There are great autobiographies or memoirs written by friends of celebrities that consist of personal information and small tidbits that greatly interest readers.
One would believe that a daughter would be the most biased person to write a biography but this is not the case with this book. Riva shares personal information but she always cites when she does so as to not confuse fact and observation.
She includes diary entries, letters from lovers, and a bevy of other sources including other acquaintances of Dietrich. She reveals things that her mother made up for the press and what her mother really thought about things like films, other stars, and sex.
Riva always remains objective and portrays her mother respectably even in embarrassing or hateful situations because she is aware of the multitude of Dietrich fans.
She does not praise simply to praise though; she seems to understand the adoration of the facade Marlene Dietrich showed the world.
Riva talks about how she had to trick her mother into being treated for the cancer she swore she didn't have. She writes about her mother forcing her to get fitted for a diaphragm before she traveled overseas to entertain the troops during the second World War.
Even when she speaks of when Dietrich told Riva's sons that their mother had stolen them from her, she does not try to persuade readers to hate her mother.
This is an incredible book. Enjoy this jewel of writing. Dietrich was unimpressed. Nevertheless, she had her quirky little ways.
Marlene was phobic about germs, for example, and scoured lavatories and sinks herself with powerful detergents and antiseptics.
When in hospital, she refused to be treated by black nurses. She was also anti-Semitic. During the war she entertained the U.
She slept with the GIs and caught crabs. As a mother, she was a predictable nightmare. The Little Napoleon Kathrin Im Schatten des Glücks Archive footage.

Am Ende der Seiten bleibt mir nur eine einzige kritische Frage an Marlene, nämlich die: Warum hat sie es noch nicht einmal geahnt?
Warum hat sie ihren Kater so wenig gekannt? Hat sie die Tochter überhaut als eigenständigen Menschen wahrgenommen?
Die Projektionen der beiden — Oh Mutter! Oh Tochter! Maria Riva aber scheint tatsächlich nur die schwache Tochter einer starken Mutter zu sein.
