Dietrich, Marlene (1901-1992)
Marlene Dietrich's ABC, Signed Limited Edition.

This alphabetical compendium capturing memories, people, ideas, and recipes significant to Marlene Deitrich's life gained immense popularity following its original release in 1962. Since then, the limited number of first edition copies have become highly sought after by collectors and fans worldwide. This special revised edition responds to "the many letters from most countries of our world" sent to Deitrich begging her for a new edition. Completed decades after the first edition, this revised version includes additional entries reflecting the actor's changed perspectives, personality, and beliefs, accented with numerous photographs taken of Deitrich throughout her career.
