And didn't she play some kind of role or speak out against @#$%& during the war? Someone, pls help out here.

She was a beuty but she could also say stupid things.
- and if you want to get this thread on-topic, see if you can find the tiny snatch of this tune in the middle of Cool, Calm, Collected.
Great film--Destry Rides Again--with Jimmy Stewart. The two of them have a drag-out brawl in the saloon that is wild!
Watching this film gives you the context for the character Madeline Kahn spoofed in Blazing Saddles.
Here's a clip from Blonde Venus that illustrates her influence on theatrics in modern pop music (she shows up about 2:30)
question for Shezeboss--how and for what did Kazan want Johnny to play James Dean? Never heard of that before.

No. It was made concurrently by Von Sternberg in Germany. It was her breakthrough role that made her an international star, but she had made many films before that.
Emil Jannings performance in that film as the professor who falls for her just slays. He was a great actor.

She made and English version "Die Blaue Engel" in America as "The Blue Angel" also in 1930. As far as I know, "Die Blaue Engel" was her last German film and yes she did speak out against @#$%& and was even a consort, however briefly, of Jumpin' Jim Gavin during the war. But then, Marlene was not a monogamist. Nice photo montage by the way Terry!Quote

Rockman, hello ! And, above all, thank's a lot for those incredible photos. Fantastic, really...
Johnny is not an ersatz. He began so young. Even in a Clouseau's film when he's a children... Elia kazan wanted him to play James Dean. Mick (JAG) loves him, and, Bono wrote him a song 2 or 3 years ago. Hendrix slept at Johnny'home when he was nothing. And his guitarist, mick Jones wrote 2 or 3 classics for Foreigner, and for Johnny himself.
J just wrote those few words for closed people of the site. (MAJORITY of course)
Not for you ROCKMAN. You're good, and, fortunately you often come here.
Shine a light on you...

rocky - r u sure about that date and location as at that time, the western Allies had not really pushed into Germany or it was very early on in terms of any Allied presence on German soil. Give them two months and it was nearly over.
just found this quickly which may not be the definitive source nor the total picture, dont know...
On March 22, with a bright moon lighting the late-night sky, elements of the U.S. XII Corps' 5th Infantry Division began the Third Army's Rhine crossing (back to Patton now as this was his Army).
Do u have a specific location in Germany for that foto?

Ah, thanks for the correction. I was aware that she had made a few films in Germany before coming to America but I had only seen the "Die Laue Engel" I have a great CD of Marlene singing songs from "Die Blaue Engel" all in German and recorded circa 1930. She really sang with enthusiasm and youthful joie de vivre then. As to Emil Jannings, his performance was indeed great and I have seen him is few German silents, my favorite being "Faust, Eine deutsche Volkssage" from 1926. Great stuff!Quote
