Everything about her from head to the tip of her toes, from body posture to the simplest of hand gestures. All that carried her uniquely distinct signature style is amazing and full of grace. For this and many reasons more I worship and admire ... Forever idolized Marlene Dietrich.
@Inky261 marlene was no traitor ! She´s a heroe - one of the other germans who said NO to hitler and the nazis - she did so much for peace and freedom in a cruel world - thank you so much marlene - DANKE !!!
I watched this program a few years ago, and her rendition of Gigolo is so poignant. The look in her eyes was heartbreaking, She was unsure for what seemed like the first time. She had always been able to manipulate the world around her completely and mold it into what she wanted. That was no more. Her situation reminds me of a Dr. Who episode where he was about to turn and said that he didn't want to go. He was scared. Dietrich was not like May West. She didn't believe that she still appeared young. Like they said MD considered her persona to be an illusion. She could no longer keep it up with smoke and mirrors. I think that she became a recluse because she could not bare to be pitied. I can relate. If all my friends were my friends because they pitied me, I would rather be miserable and alone.
to me....she got even more beautiful with age..like in billy wilder film witness for the pros.omg she was like 60 and sooo gorgeous its amazing...even just a giglo she was 78 and wow gorgeous..
Gute das wir Marlene hatten. Es lebe Marlene. Ihr Mut und ihr Einsatz während des zweiten Weltkrieges sind so bewundernswert. Hätten wir nur mehr Menschen wie sie gehabt.
Marlene loved the spotlight on her with the attention that went with it,she loved to shock people and confuse them to wonder,REST in peace Marlene your not forgotten,God bless amen,😍😘💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🌸🌸🌸🌸🌼🌼🌼🌈✌💙👍💙✌💖👍💖✌👍✊😘
Maria Riva as Marlene's daughter would obviously know far more about her than we do. I love her book about her- it acknowledges her pros and her cons and is very honest. I would be very suspicious of any book that tooted Marlene as perfect- she definately wasn't. I do love her though- she lived her life the way she wanted.
Naturally that nobody is perfect, my father was saying "the perfect ones are the perfect idiots". It was clear that she had faults, as anibody. In those years it was not thought very much about the protection of animals. What I was admiring in her was the interest in the human beings and that to defend a point was going on to the action. In spite of her "glamour" it is said that the personnel of the studies wanted she for her good treatment and when someone was ill she was helping personally.
there may be many ways to view her life , but for me SHE WILL ALWAYS BE FABULOUS , SHE WILL ALWAYS BE A SAINT ! SHE WAS BORN ON THE FEAST OF SAINT JOHN 12/27 , AND SHE DIED ON THE FEAST OF SAINT JOHN 5/6 THE BELOVED DISCIPLE COMING AND GOING !
@Inky261 a traitor ? you miss understand a lot ! we love marlene in germany - because she did THE RIGHT ! not against the germans - against the nazis !! how could you miss understand this ? strange.
The war was not initiated by either France or England or America. Naturally, after a war starts, it is always bad. The difference lies in the fact that the Allies are self critical but Germany believed blindly in their right to commit the crimes he committed. I have read several biographies of Marlene and beyond what was eccentric and its image for the film and entertainment, I always thought she was a very human woman.
Having read her bigraphy as written by her daughter, who she treated as a slave, she should be remembered as one of the most egocentric persons that Hollywood ever produced.
I think it was André Heller. I heard it many years ago and thought it was extraordinary. I’ve never heard it since, though I have searched. I think it may have been subject to a legal ruling and subsequently suppressed.
She could not sing, she could not dance. She was all makeup and image. One asked what was the attraction. Why so popular? Well, we have the same thing today...Paris Hilton, The Kardashians, the list goes on. But Dietrich had something none of these skags have...that's mystic, character and intelligence. Dietrich was much more than a fad...she was unique.
Marlene had a sense of ethics very special, for example, never wanted to take up residence in Europe to evade taxes, because he felt that if a country will also have to pay big salaries to pay the taxes required by law. He said "But here I can earn those wages, then I must comply with the law."
The "last photo" was taken by her grandson Peter Riva over christmas in her house. As for the flags on her cofin. She was a "Legion d'Honneur" so she had the french flag for her funeral in France. She was flown to Berlin and came off the plane under an american flag. She was then laid to rest with a german flag on her coffin next to her mother (and the sister she denied she ever had). The cemetary is primarily jewish, and the photographer Helmut Newton is a couple of plots away from her
@IHeartSydney2 at 4:12 the flag is on Marlene's body. In the other picture is on her coffin. Read the book of Norma Bosquet: "Marlene Dietrich: Les Dernieres Secrets". There there are all details of Marlene's last days. Regards QUINCE
She was more than one person and as a consequence had more the one persona.She had genuine screen charisma but clearly wasn’t the best mother.Fans either cherry pick the lives of their beloved icons or they see them for what they’re,talented performers with flaws who can sometimes believe in their own legendary status .I mean -lest we forget that she publicly denied even having a sister lol 😆 ...
This daughter received the support of her mother in everything she wanted to do, but she dit not have the beauty, talent or charm of her mother. Now, very subtly, she tries to dirty his mother' name and tries to get money out of her memory. Actually María does not say anything that was not known; however, Maria does not say that Marlene supported her in her marriages, nor does she say that Marlene used a large part of her money so that the daughter and her family took a life train that they could not pay. Aftter her death, Marlene did not leave much money, but Maria sold her property for $8 million; but Maria wanted more, and published her dirty memories.
Diese Person hat auch mich schon mal attackiert, aber schau Dir einer der Videos auf ihrem Kanal an in denen sie selbst ein führender Rolle erfüllt, dan spürst Du gleich das sie nicht mehr alle Tassen im Schrank hast !
na, Marlene was Marlene .....I read the biography from Maria ...so sorry she had a star as mother , I think Marlene was just a star ....the only right she had .. a star must allways twinkle ...thats it .......isn´t that sad !
Everything about her from head to the tip of her toes, from body posture to the simplest of hand gestures. All that carried her uniquely distinct signature style is amazing and full of grace. For this and many reasons more I worship and admire ... Forever idolized Marlene Dietrich.
This makes me cry. I adore Marlene Dietrich. She is precious to me.

THE MOST FASCINATING PERSON THAT EVER LIVED. MARLENE, WIR VERMISSEN SIE SEHR .
Marlene Dietrich will always be remembered for her beauty and that Song from 1945 "LIli Marleen"
Dave Minnesota
Dietrich... fascinante... encantadora... beleza que derretia os corações...
Love you Marlen, the best and the unique and the Queen ! Nunca te olvidamos
Very good. Thanks Irene for sharing!
For me the charm begins and ends with "The Blue Angel"; she never did anything comparable!
Gute das wir Marlene hatten.
Es lebe Marlene. Ihr Mut und ihr Einsatz während des zweiten Weltkrieges sind so bewundernswert. Hätten wir nur mehr Menschen wie sie gehabt.
Geweldige artiest memory uit mijn moeders tijd

marlene dietrich is real music!
SHE WAS BORN AND DIED ON THE TWO FEASTS OF SAINT JOHN THE DIVINE , THE BELOVED DISCIPLE !

Marlene means FREEDOM AND LOVE. Forever.
Emotioning MARLENE!

this is taken from "NO ANGEL - Chris Hunt's tv documentary on Marlene Dietrich"
por siempre marlene.....
Didn´t Maximillian Schell do her last interview on "film", but he was not allowed to actually film her ?
I think it was André Heller. I heard it many years ago and thought it was extraordinary. I’ve never heard it since, though I have searched. I think it may have been subject to a legal ruling and subsequently suppressed.
Marlene Dietrich “Beleza que Balançava os Corações “
She could not sing, she could not dance. She was all makeup and image. One asked what was the attraction. Why so popular? Well, we have the same thing today...Paris Hilton, The Kardashians, the list goes on. But Dietrich had something none of these skags have...that's mystic, character and intelligence. Dietrich was much more than a fad...she was unique.
...mystique...
...and style and, at least in public, she carried herself with a certain dignity.
Narcissism creates longevity. Not being able to love, and be hurt, saves people from those nasty emotional upheavals that are so unhealthy.
Marlene had a sense of ethics very special, for example, never wanted to take up residence in Europe to evade taxes, because he felt that if a country will also have to pay big salaries to pay the taxes required by law. He said "But here I can earn those wages, then I must comply with the law."
The "last photo" was taken by her grandson Peter Riva over christmas in her house. As for the flags on her cofin. She was a "Legion d'Honneur" so she had the french flag for her funeral in France. She was flown to Berlin and came off the plane under an american flag. She was then laid to rest with a german flag on her coffin next to her mother (and the sister she denied she ever had). The cemetary is primarily jewish, and the photographer Helmut Newton is a couple of plots away from her
Did she seriusly not get out of the apartment in 13 years? How could she stand that? Not even for a walk around the street?
THE WOMAN WAS A MIRACLE !!!!!
MAYBE A DOUBLE MIRACLE ..
She was a narcissistic nympho.
The just a gigolo extract was very moving
Regret what she did "wrong"?
She would have deeply regretted if she'd been taken in by the Nazis, as this would have tainted her image forever.
@IHeartSydney2
at 4:12 the flag is on Marlene's body.
In the other picture is on her coffin.
Read the book of Norma Bosquet:
"Marlene Dietrich: Les Dernieres Secrets".
There there are all details of Marlene's last days.

@90Garbo
Yes it's the last official photo of Marlene.
It was taken a few months before her death in her Paris apartment.
Eine richtige Berlinerin...what she all.lost....just imagine. And then pretend all this new stuff is her thing....her heart was bleeding....
@MlleBeattitude
danke - ja, auch ich bin sehr stolz auf Marlene !
Aloha from Hawaii
Is Colin Firth narrating this?
no...Melvyn Bragg
she was alwys an old lady
an old soul
No, she was the queen of germany......
Just read her daughters biography. Not so nice after all Marlene. :(
KazgarothUsher
I’m related to Marlene :/
so what? she was not the blue angel?
She was more than one person and as a consequence had more the one persona.She had genuine screen charisma but clearly wasn’t the best mother.Fans either cherry pick the lives of their beloved icons or they see them for what they’re,talented performers with flaws who can sometimes believe in their own legendary status .I mean -lest we forget that she publicly denied even having a sister lol 😆 ...

Yes daughter definitely resented her mothers fame looks success had none herself

Marlene
na, Marlene was Marlene .....I read the biography from Maria ...so sorry she had a star as mother , I think Marlene was just a star ....the only right she had .. a star must allways twinkle ...thats it .......isn´t that sad !
Marlene, recieved the Medial of honor from the US> for her help in working for the CIA and entertaining the Troops!!! Get ur facts straight!!!

You know you have a problem and it's not my problem
I don't get it. She couldn't sing..
BroccoliBeefed Yes she did
She was a great singer
everyone can sing, but she could not sing good ..
I dont get why people with low ranges are labeled as bad singers. Just look at liza minnelli or judy garland.
Sammeln sie TransenSängerinnen?
I never understood her appeal. She could not sing. And really was not that attractive. But many adored her.
