Good Afternoon Miss Dietrich

About the Book

MARLENE DIETRICH. She can fill any auditorium in the world with adoring fans, yet she scorns them. The very definition of the femme fatale, yet she’s been married to the same man for over fifty years. There’s no one like her . . . she’s an original, a star, and a holy terror. – After Dark Good Afternoon Miss Dietrich is based on Michael Brown’s personal experience with Marlene Dietrich in the early summer of 1975. The story takes place in Columbus, Ohio–during one of Dietrich’s last concert engagements–and it’s a definitive backstage theater “tell-all” with a unique cast of characters. Written with a sense of humor–but also with respect to the legendary film and cabaret star, Good Afternoon Miss Dietrich is not only a fast-paced and entertaining show business account, but is timeless in story line as well. MICHAEL BROWN has been in the professional entertainment business for over twenty-five years. From acting; to directing and choreography; to production and management–Mr. Brown has worked with many celebrities in every aspect of the theater. Most recently, he served as Entertainment Coordinator for the Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. This is Mr. Brown’s first book. “Hard to put down. . . . Well-written and engrossing.” – Rick Baumgartner Publisher Blue Acorn Press “A lot of fun and very well done.” – Andrea Chambers Vice President Executive Editor G. P. Putnam’s Sons
