When she came to the Palace Hotel to perform her world-famous, one-woman show, Ren\u00e9 was asked to be seated at her table. He was understandably star-struck by the glimmering star and never forgot every detail of the dazzling event.<\/h4><h4>The presentation describes how a little girl, born Marie Magdalene Dietrich in 1901 Berlin, became the world-famous legend Marlene Dietrich.<\/h4><h4>Few Hollywood icons have attracted our attention for longer than Dietrich. She started her career in Germany doing cabaret and dancing in chorus lines. By 1930 she was hailed in Hollywood as Paramount\u2019s answer to MGM\u2019s Greta Garbo.<\/h4><h4>Dietrich\u2019s long working and personal relationship with director Josef von Sternberg, brought her initial fame and fortune. He recreated her as a glamorous <em>femme fatale<\/em> and made her the highest paid actress in the world.<\/h4><h4>She reinvented herself several times throughout her long career. Her serious work ethic and personal discipline endeared her to the film industries\u2019 best producers and directors.<\/h4><h4>Just before the World War II, the Nazis tried to woo her back to Germany, to no avail. Instead of performing in Hitler\u2019s Germany, she went to work for the American war effort. Her courage during the war earned her many awards from the USA, France, and even Israel.<\/h4><h4>In the 50s she once again changed her focus and became the highest paid cabaret artist. Guided by Burt Bachrach she created a one-woman show, which she premiered in Las Vegas, where she was paid $30,000 a week. During the ensuing two decades she performed the show all over the world.<\/h4><h4>Although married only once, and for 53 years, she had dalliances with most of her leading men, including Jimmy Stewart, Gary Cooper, and Cary Grant. Being the product of the 1920\u2019s \u201cGolden Age of Weimar\u201d environment, Dietrich also had affairs with women like Edith Piaf and Dolores del Rio.<\/h4><h4>In his inimitable story-telling fashion, Ren\u00e9 will present a picture of Marlene Dietrich as a multi-talented, multi-lingual, truly international icon, who camouflaged her flaws and maximized her talents.<\/h4>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marlene Dietrich: The Woman and the Legend In the 1960s Ren\u00e9 attended boarding school in Gstaad, Switzerland with two of Marlene Dietrich\u2019s grandsons.
