Marlene Dietrich Quote Marlene Dietrich Quotes
  • “All the time I was in Berlin Garbo was my favorite. I only had Sunday afternoon free; I was playing, rehearsing all the other time. So on Sunday afternoons I used to go to see Garbo's pictures. I followed them from one theater to another; maybe sometimes I saw one five or six times. And when I came to America I thought perhaps I will meet her. I hear she likes German people. But now, no. She would think 'Humph, she is just someone else trying to be like me'. I cannot blame her, but it was cruel of people to say such things.”

  • Quote in italiano
    Quando stavo a Berlino la Garbo era la mia preferita. La domenica pomeriggio ero libera dalle prove e andavo a vederla di teatro in teatro, a volte guardando cinque o sei volte lo stesso film. Andando in America pensavo che magari avrei potuto incontrarla, ho sentito dire che i tedeschi le piacciono. Poi ho cambiato idea, magari lei pensa che sono solo un'altra che tenta di imitarla. Non posso biasimarla, ma che la gente lo pensi è davvero crudele.
