Learn more about her life starting from the humble beginnings of her career in Berlin´s Roaring Twenties, the emigration to the USA, to her status as the highest paid actress of her generation in Hollywood. We’ll watch excerpts from her films, as well as listen to songs that defined her career and which now belong to the cultural memories of both our countries, Germany and the United States.
Tonight's speaker is Peter Bali, a life-long fan of Marlene Dietrich. Born in Hungary, he moved to Kansas City three years ago from Budapest. Peter studied German literature and history in both Budapest and Berlin. He wrote his thesis on the Golden Twenties in Berlin, focusing on art, film, and music.
