The death in Paris of actress Marlene Dietrich ends the career of a remarkable, fascinating woman. She truly deserved the word ”legendary.” What she lacked in versatility she more than made up for in glamor. Her performance as the temptress Lola-Lola in Josef von Sternberg`s 1930 classic ”The Blue Angel” is one of the great treasures of cinema.

Marlene Dietrich`s spirit and originality will endure in the rich legacy of the films she made, a few of which are considered priceless ”cinema gems.”
