Dietrich. Brazil. 1959.

Wonderful rare photos of Marlene's 1959 tour of Brazil in this video:

The poster of this video has an interesting blog about Marlene's visit to Brazil.

Here's a colour shot I have of MD that I wanted to share. I've seen that sweater in publicity shots.

Steven Bach (1940-2009)

Steven Bach passed away on March 25, 2009 according to the MD newsletter. Mr. Bach was a scholar, producer and the author of the brilliant Marlene Dietrich: Life and Legend releases in 1992. It is simply one of the best books ever written on Dietrich. He was in contact with her and had many interesting conversations with her. He was also the rarest of creatures: a true gentleman. I wrote Mr. Bach a 'fan letter' and he was kind enough to answer.
