Uncommon signed publication by the Museum of Modern Art Film Library, focusing on the iconic actress and singer. The book, written by Richard Griffith, features a collection of images and commentary on Dietrich's life and career, highlighting her diverse roles and enduring legacy, published in conjunction with a film series showcasing nine of her best films. Dietrich has boldly signed with her name alone in black ink to the title page and again above the film listings, over her photograph by Josef von Sternberg. Spine and cover corners somewhat worn, else fine.
From the collection of Paul McMahon, a critic, photographer and artist who worked for more than 13 years touring with Marlene Dietrich as the icon’s stage manager, announcer, dresser, secretary and escort, and later spent 25 years as an arts and entertainment reviewer and photographer.
