If people thought more like Marlene and worked as hard as her the world would have less problems!!! Thanks for posting she is ONE OF MY HEROS!!!
I think she understood very quicky that the interviewer was just silly and stupid. She's doing the job because she's polite and professional but looks sometimes upset.
Also there must be other things going on in that room because she keeps looking off to the side. And I love that she was actually looking at the guy and engaging with him in the beginning but stops giving him that grace lmao he keeps implying that she gets no work when Marlene is like bitch pay attention I’m busy as ever!
She was tough to interview there were somethings that triggered her, like saying she was forced to play a role, you definitely had to be prepared to interview her.
She was a tough interview, giving nothing to the interviewer to ease the process. Call him an idiot if you wish, as many here do, but the fact remains that he was right (her denials notwithstanding) that she was pretty much typecast in her Hollywood heyday after the Blue Angel as a promiscuous temptress/seductress/femme fatale. Blond Venus, Morocco, Shanghai Express, The Devil Is A Woman, Destry Rides Again, pretty much all work the same persona. You don't see her playing the girl next door, the innocent victim, or numerous other roles that, say, Bette Davis did.
I can understand why, though. The interviewer seemed to be constantly trying to insinuate that for some reason, she wasn’t getting hired as often as she used to, subtly perpetuating the myth that was very popular back then regarding how older women eventually no longer get cast in Hollywood. She just wasn’t having it and chose not to feed into it. I’m sure if he had changed the subject earlier on he might have gotten some better responses from her.
The interviewer is indeed stupid. And not because we say so. Because he doesn't know his job. The personality he's talking to, was an international star, an international stage performer until her late 70's, a contributer to the Word War, and an awarded with the Legion d'Honneur, at least. A personal friend of presidents, of most famous writers, poets, great inventors and other contributers to the world. The one who (as a German) said No to Hitler and fought against Hitler and helped refugees from the horrors of war. She might had not been given high roles in Hollywood movies. But this woman made her way through and she really can't be compared. And can't be reduced to just a forced and forgotten femme fatale moviestar. The interviewer is indeed unprepared. And ignorant. And if I would be a little mean, I would say that he also looks like one - with his laugh, his face and his posture. He was very luckyx to have been so close to this woman.
The interviewer doesn't know his job. He didn't make not even the smallest research that a common fan of her would do. He was lucky getting away with only a few minor corrections from Marlene. And signature face and tone of voice expressions.
I wonder what she might have said if Marilyn Monroe had done The Blue Angel remake instead of Mae Brit. The interviewer is an absolute twit. You just know she'll need a drink after this one. And, with her hair knitted up over her head, covered by a wig to pull her face up, it's probably amazing he lived through the interview.
