Dietrich & Von Sternberg in Hollywood (box set)

“The first one that I loved was this one: Dietrich & Von Sternberg in Hollywood. So Marlene Dietrich I have a very special connection to, because I’m German, and when I grew up in Germany, I remember my grandfather being very upset when my grandmother would want to show me pictures– movies of Marlene Dietrich, like, “Don’t watch this. Don’t get The Kid to watch it.” And so, of course, I wanted to watch it even more and more and more and I fell in love with her.”

“The first thing I think I'd like to get is the Dietrich and Von Sternberg and I have seen some of these but I have not seen all of them so I think I'm going to go for that.”

“I'm pretty intrigued by this Dietrich and von Sternberg in Hollywood. Six films restored. Only here you find this kind of thing.”

“Is this Shanghai Express here? Oh yeah, Shanghai Express. A wonderful film. She was so beautiful and I was a fashion photographer and I'd see her photograph and I'd see her come on the screen, she was so beautiful. And I think a lot of my photographs of women were copied from what I'd see, the photographs that were taken of her, Marlene Dietrich.”
