It doesn't appear that Marlene's original <em>ABC</em> had its copyright renewed, which shocks me. The revised edition published by Ungar Pub. Co. was registered in 1984, but only the revisions (the "new matter") are covered by that copyright claim, not the material originally published in the Doubleday first edition in 1962. If that 1962 edition were renewed, that would have taken place in 1990.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970797639620201166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834131700403691808.post-43950183340949688772012-10-04T23:36:33.191-07:002012-10-04T23:36:33.191-07:00missladiva, I'm not sure.

With the "How To Be Loved" piece?) was renewed in 1981 (I checked <a href="http://cocatalog.loc.gov/" rel="nofollow">this catalog</a>, searched "ladies home journal" as the title, resorted the records by date, and found it in 1953). Steven Bach, however, wrote that <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=MahIKu7q9X0C&lpg=PA573&ots=bd5vPzvLDl&dq=Ladies%20Home%20Journal%20marlene%20dietrich&pg=PA573#v=onepage&q=Ladies%20Home%20Journal%20marlene%20dietrich&f=false" rel="nofollow">the piece was copyrighted to Marlene</a>. If that's true, I can't find any indication that anything by Marlene from around that time had its copyright renewed.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970797639620201166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834131700403691808.post-79954865166097691442012-09-26T10:15:23.738-07:002012-09-26T10:15:23.738-07:00great! enjoyed the article very much also nice to ...great! enjoyed the article very much also nice to see where it came from.

I don't have that copy of "Confidential", but it would make a great read. Was the copyright of Marlene's 1953 article for "Ladies Home Journal" renewed?<br /><br />Regarding this interview, I think it's fascinating that Dietrich was downplaying her early career, even then. And the explanation of her private life: those europeans! The article seems part contract renegation ploy (leaving to sing in Europe) and part damage control (Mrs von Sternberg / Mrs Chevalier).missladivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17226242168638782932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834131700403691808.post-36691438291340372482012-09-22T14:46:05.537-07:002012-09-22T14:46:05.537-07:00Afterthought: the lesbian "scandal" in t...Afterthought: the lesbian "scandal" in the <em>Confidential</em> magazine (vol. 3, no. 3, July 1955) article, "The Untold Story of Marlene Dietrich," would be a great piece to share here and on Tumblr. My research has led me to the conclusion that the issue (and its content) are now in the public domain because its copyright wasn't renewed in 1983.* I'd like others to help research that, though. Anyway, I'd be more than happy to transcribe the article if someone could make some good scans of it.<br /><br />*On that note, was the copyright of any <em>Confidential</em> issues renewed? I gather that the first issue was published in 1952, and that the magazine and its founder, Robert Harrison, croaked in 1978, two years before that first issue would have been due for copyright renewal.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970797639620201166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834131700403691808.post-50130471710824667922012-09-19T23:36:23.752-07:002012-09-19T23:36:23.752-07:00Thanks again for sharing this!
