Dietrich Rides Again

Marlene Dietrich: International movie star, product of the sexual and cultural experiment of Weimar Berlin, artistic partner and muse of Josef Von Sternberg, who made her the latest adornment to Hollywoods Golden Age, a pioneering practitioner of gender fluidity, unbending opponent of Hitler and his Nazis, front line entertainer with the US Army in WWII, a friend of Hemingway, a lover of men and women. She stood up to bullies. She wore the pants. Justyna Kostek, born the year Dietrich died, inhabits all these Dietrichs through songs as indelibly associated with the great star as Falling In Love Again, from The Blue Angel. Get ready, Troy, for a date with quicksilver allure and European sophistication, with the history, the struggle, the comedy and humor, of a feminine icon of enduring strength back in the saddle and riding high!
