DIETRICH,
Marlene (1901-92)
German-born film actress. Made her film debut in The Ship of Lost Men (1922). The following year she was discovered by director Josef von Sternberg and cast in The Blue Angel , a German-American film production. This led to a long-term contract with Paramount Pictures. Dietrich went on to become one of Hollywood 's most alluring film icons, her roles often mirroring those of Greta Garbo. After some less-than-acclaimed films, Dietrich shocked the viewing public by abandoning her film career in order to entertain troops during WW II. Early in the war Adolf Hitler attempted to woo Dietrich to Germany to produce propaganda films. She steadfastly refused and did not return to her homeland until she was interred in Berlin . In the 1960s, Dietrich enjoyed a modest comeback touring European nightclubs as a chanteuse. She eventually retired to a flat in Paris . Magnificent autograph display piece consisting of a 9”x12” black and white, lithoprint portrait which is very boldly signed on the lower white mount. Miss Dietrich is attired in a white suit and a beautiful fedora, in a very pensive pose. The signed image has been framed with rich, black leatherette board, encased in museum conservation glass, and a high-end, sleek burnished silver metal frame. Sehr schon! $ 595 |
