Sie war eine wunderbare Künstlerin, einfach sehr professionell und fokussiert auf ihre Arbeit, dem Publikum ihr Bestes zu geben! Aber der Mensch und die Frau kamen da wohl zu kurz, wenn man ihrer Tochter glauben darf! Maria Riva liebte ihre Mutter, aber sie litt auch unter ihr nicht unerheblich!
I like that Marlene doesn’t sit there and entertain so to speak and the programme doesn’t make her do that either. She’s not there for cheap laughs and such. She’s there to talk about her work and she takes it seriously and responds matter of factly. I like her facial expressions when she finds something a little ‘odd’ and corrects the interviewers believes and takes any dramatics away so the conversation don’t turn speculative.
So sad. She lost her beloved BERLIN.....she had to do all of this...to go on....she never got over the loss of her home. Never...regardless what she is saying...could not speak truth. Or they would have called her a neesi...
@@marlenearchives I first saw Marlene Dietrich at a midnight charity performance at The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London in about 1972. I was very poor and only could afford a seat in the very top of the theatre. There were 100s of people waiting to see her at the stage door and because I was at the top of the theatre it had taken me ages to get out so I was at the very back of the crowd. She did not wait to give autographs, I think she was overwhelmed by the size of the crowd. She was swept away, to the Savoy Hotel and as the car drove slowly down Drury Lane I was able to run along side it and had a perfect view of her. A year or so later Dietrich returned to London and did a series of concerts at The Queens Theatre on Shaftesbury Lane. I was there for the first night and now I had a better seat. Still there were crowds at the stage door but in the audience there had been many of the Hollywood greats that had been to her dressing room to see her so we got to see them as they left. Then Dietrich came out, climbed up onto the Rolls Royce and threw autographed photos into the crowd - I got one! A year or so later she gave concerts at the Wimbledon Theatre. Again I was there on the first night and now I had a seat in the front row of the stalls. Again I was there at the stage door but this time she did not give autographs but got into the car immediately. Probably the next year she returned and again I was in the front row on the first night. For most of the second act everyone was out of their seats crowding forward but I was there right at the front. Encore after encore, it was always the same formula - and we loved it. Once again I was at the stage door and this time she stayed, talking, kissing, signing programmes and my programme was passed over the heads of others, signed and passed back to me. Gradually the crowd thinned out but still she stayed until there were just a handful of us. Dietrich stopped, she looked around at us, it was as though she was looking for someone - she was and she saw who she was looking for. Me, she came over to me, took hold of both my hands, kissed both my cheeks. Said goodnight and then got into the car and drove away. I never saw her again.
I never saw her. I was too young. But I went to Berlin to visit her grave and brought her tuberoses flowers, because I read that she liked those flowers best.
Marlene looks great here. Remember this was 40 years after she was a star at Paramount in the 1930s! She became a very good and very skilled concert performer.
Marlene was a live cabaret/night club performer before her film career. Whether hair, lighting, costuming, all the essentials to showcase an act, she knew. She got an award from make-up artists engraved, "You know as much as we do."
Love her attitude in terms of working and duty. She’s really saying nothing negative about anybody. A great person , a wise person , and a real diva in the positive way of the word.
Except in while in Britain in 1939 she did say live over German radio *Hitler is an idiot* (and Hitler deserved it) other than that, she was quite a great person
@@jimhuffman9434 i wish people badmouth Stalin as they do with Hitler. After all Stalin killed five times more people and no one turns a hair. If Stalin's victims had ben jews, maybe....
@@gonzalov5452 Marlene was a controlling attention hoe and bi swinger. She seemingly went on to have a female secretary groom her daughter, supposedly in her late teens I believe. Her daughter and media has talked on this sparingly, but there may have been other people she tried to pimp her daughter to. Some have thought Marlene did this to always keep her daughter close and made to feel like no one could love her so she would only have mommy.
I like how she speaks so slowly and thoughtfully. Unlike the female so-called "stars" of today with their rapid fire speaking and vulgar comments, trying to be funny.
@@fraenkiegoodboy1760 so true. if you ask me, 'temeculajoe' was just dropping a contribution (one of those 'temeculajoe droppings' as it were) of his own, however stupid and no matter how high the cost... or maybe he is one of those 'many stars' and was just trying to be as 'thoughtful and intelligent' as them....: honestly, who would expect him to give more, mmh ??
@@monoecumsemper Literally all he said was that there are many celebrities today that are thoughtful and intelligent. Just like how there were many stars back then who weren’t very intelligent. Marlene is a rarity in both time periods.
@@thenablade858 wtf ?? @Fraenkie Goodboy was/is right, ""temeculajoe" and you missed the point. Fair enough. Comparison was/is made to Marlene Dietrich only (the point) with no generalisation, that's why. Again: @Fraenkie Goodboy was/is right. You don't get this, you're not fit for talking to.
I think Marlene relied a lot onto classical (and contemporary) works of culture and this is why she comes across as she does... Madonna has been relying on things hil and cool...
She is wearing tapes here behind her face, which lift her face up, that was something very common in the 60s 70s especially for film stars. And she used to have the very best cosmetics and aesthetics in Hollywood to preserve her myth.
@@kostasveronis5882 i know , and apparently it was beyond painful! she also performed with a very bad leg injury , on stage..she was a TANK that woman! insane!!
Thank you so much for uploading this again. Marlene is fascinating - in this interview she is in complete control. And she was so highly intelligent- her observations were spot on. She does come across as indeed very humble.
I love everything about her and I could listen to her speak for hours. At 21:20 she talks about how her fans were wonderful but the press just didn't like her. So sad. She was an icon and was always herself though no matter what. Rest in peace to this icon and angel ❤️
She loves to contradict and disagree with everyone, that was always Dietrich, her story was always how she wanted it to be, reality never impinged, one has to admire her !
When she states that Garbo was a very unique person, that's true, be she was just as unique, if not more! I really loved her in "Witness for the Prosecution!" That is one of my favorite films still!
Why didn't the interviewers sit down and be on the same level as Marlene . Looked a bit awkward to have them standing and she having to look up at them , although they were very respectful with perfect English , in fact all three spoke perfect English .
To see how humbly she speaks about getting her first role and how she didn’t think she could do it is amazing. She is someone that we have the perception that she was untouchable. What a remarkable woman
My gosh, i am glad to have discovered Marlene Dietrich this year. Gosh, she was absolutely breathtaking and a great actress ahead of her time . This interview is good to see her true self and personality. ❤❤❤
I followed her all my life,have so many books pictures and magazine articles about her.I started learning to sing with some of her songs but changed to opera.Every 5 years i am invited to sing Lily Marlene at a world war 2th concert and listen to her version of it to get inspired.She stayed completely true to herself which i always admired.Absolute beauty but she must have been very difficult having such a huge personality.I learned a lot from her,listening and reading.Rest in Peace in Berlin Marlene💝
I actually had a conversation with Marlena Dietrich in Montreal at Expo 67 where she was performing her celebrated stage show. Still a beauty she was intense, larger than life, smouldering and unforgettable. Her grandson was in my year at Carnegie Mellon University and he had nixed feelings about his film actress grandmother.
Not too long after this interview in 1972, Marlene Dietrich had an accident during one of her concerts when she fell off the stage and suffered a compound fracture of her leg. Shortly after that, she retired from live performances. A few years later, she retired completely and became a recluse in her Paris apartment where she lived the last 20 years of her life. I'll never forget the day she passed. It was headline news around the world. She was a woman of the world but also an American hero. I highly recommend the film made by her grandson David Riva -- 'Marlene Dietrich -- Her Own Song'.
Hello, this is 1971. Yes, shortly thereafter, in 1975, she fell and broke her hip. In 1979, her career as an actress ended, but until her death she wrote books, was interested in life behind the apartment. By the way, she went to her apartment in America for a long time, until about 1982, after that she paid for an apartment there until her death.
Bing Crosby also fell off the stage, a deep head-first tumble. Although he seemed to recover and even wound up playing golf in Spain, he died a few months afterward.
They hated it other cause they had a falling out although they were very polite in their public remarks about each other. They had a fling in Berlin in the 20s, which they subsequently denied
Karl Lagerfeld, another great German: “There is no secret to life. The only secret is work. Get your act together, and also, perhaps, have a decent life. Don’t drink. Don’t smoke. Don’t take drugs. All that helps.”
Indeed she performed in Israel and caused a sensation. She sang a couple of songs in German in spite of сonventional believe that it is a big no-no in Israel. The public loved her.
The quality on this is excellent! Thank you for this. I have seen the full length interview before, which seems to be gone now. This one is very well done.
This lady was soooooooo Hot.She could burn a Dragon.What a beautiful intelligent lady.Glad she escaped Hitlers madness. I could listen to her lovely voice for hours.She was a strong independent lady ahead of her time.A true patriot.I just fell in love with a ghost
I miss the way famous (or common) people spoke and looked so classy a few decades ago, and how respectful journalists seemed to be. Most of what we see, hear and wear is so ordinary now.
