War heroes, haute couture, and outrageous parties! This episode of History's Greatest Idiots, featuring The Fit Historian (https://www.youtube.com/@fithistorian), explores the extraordinary life of Neil Munro "Bunny" Roger, the openly gay fashion designer who became a decorated World War II hero, invented Capri pants, and threw London's most legendary parties whilst maintaining a 26-inch waist and wearing makeup to battle.The Fairy Prince:Born in 1911 to Scottish telecommunications tycoon Sir Alexander Roger, young Bunny asked for a doll's house and got it. At age six, his parents gave him a fairy costume with butterfly wings. His stern father sent him to Loretto, a famously dour boarding school that Bunny later said was worse than being shelled at Anzio. At Oxford, he attended parties dressed as Hollywood starlets, wore makeup, dyed his hair, and was expelled in 1930 for "alleged homosexual activities" when homosexuality was completely illegal. Margaret Thatcher was one of only a tiny minority of Conservative MPs who voted to decriminalise homosexuality in 1967, calling prosecutions "a waste of court time." This didn't stop her passing Section 28 in 1988, banning the promotion of homosexuality in schools.The Fashion Designer:After Oxford, Bunny worked at Fortnum & Mason learning tailoring, then opened "Neil Roger" in 1937 with £1,000 from his exasperated father (equivalent to £60,000 today, purchasing power of £400,000). He dressed Vivien Leigh, future star of Gone with the Wind. His designs referenced Marlene Dietrich, Gloria Swanson, and Pola Negri.The War Hero:In 1941, Bunny joined the Rifle Brigade and served in North Africa and Italy. At Monte Cassino in 1944, he charged a machine gun post wearing blush and a silk scarf, carrying Vogue in his pocket. When asked about approaching Germans, he replied "When in doubt, powder heavily." He was decorated for bravery, saved a wounded comrade at Anzio by dragging him from No Man's Land under fire, and entered burning buildings to rescue soldiers. After the war: "Now I've shot so many N*zis, Daddy will have to buy me a sable coat."The Post-War Fashion Legend:Bunny ran Fortnum & Mason's couture department from the late 1940s until 1973. In 1949, he invented fitted Capri pants on holiday. He bought 15 bespoke Savile Row suits yearly at £30,000 each in today's money, ordering four pairs of custom shoes per suit. By his death, he owned over 600 pairs of shoes. He maintained a 26-inch waist through corsetry until later life when it ballooned to 31 inches.The Legendary Parties:Bunny's Mayfair house became London's most notorious party destination. In 1952, he threw a "Quo Vadis?" party with no address, answering the door in slavery attire. In 1956, he held the infamous Fetish Party with guests in leather bondage gear, some dragging companions on dog chains. The Sunday People published scandalised photographs. For his 70th birthday in 1981, he held the Amethyst Ball at Holland Park, wearing a plum catsuit with a feathered headdress glued into his hair. Anyone not in purple was rejected. For his 80th birthday in 1991, he wore a scarlet sequin catsuit with an orange cape and greeted guests from behind a literal wall of fire.The Final Years:Bunny retreated to his Scottish estate Dundonell, spending his inheritance on art, furniture, and parties. When Sotheby's auctioned his belongings in 1998, the catalogue was 339 pages with 1,505 lots. He died in 1997 aged 85, having lived exactly as he pleased, fought Nazis in makeup, invented iconic fashion, and never once pretended to be anything other than who he was.https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiotshttps://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiotshttps://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiotsArtist: Sarah Cheyhttps://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey

El programa de hoy lo llamamos ESTRELLAS. Comienza Isabel confesando que vive na crisis de estálo. Sí, eso existe. Y que no sabe bien que ponerse. Hoy no va a hablar “de una forma transversal”de Marlene Dietrich, la famosísima leyenda alemana que emigró a los USA. Billy Wilder decía que Marlene era sinónimo de glamour, claro, que no conocía a Isabel Calderón… Aprenderemos cosas como: “es didicil ir de blanco en invierno a no ser que sea un blanco hueso…”. OK. Next. También nos habla del color pantone de la año que es., oh sorpresa, BLANCO. Repasa su carrera en Alemania y en los EEUU. ‘El ángel azul', ‘Morocco', y otras. Y tambo su estilo: totalmente adelantado a su tiempo radical… PAN-TA-LO-NES. También acuchamos a Isabel definir a la Dietrich como, atentas: “la Primera Marta Sánchez de la historia…”. Genial figura dentro y fuera de la pantalla. Acompañamos a conocerla. Lucía nos descubre a “una personaja de la contracultura neoyorquina”, Brigid Berlin. Una de las artistas más importantes en el Nueva York de los años 70. De familia de recursos: los amigos de su papá eran Hoover o Richard Nixon, con lo que vivió su infancia rodeada de una élite económica y republicana. Su madre le daba, cuando ella tenía 6 años, un dólar por cada kilo que bajara… EJEM. En los 60 se distancia se su familia y como tenia un trust de estos de los ricos yankees en que le según sus reglas le daban 100.000 dólares si se casaba… pues se casó. Con un señor homosexual. Su familia, oh, otra sorpresa, la repudió. Conoció a Andy Warhol y se pasaba la vida en su estudio. A Warhol le fascinaba su capacidad de mezclar lo público y lo privado. Colaboraron mucho tiempo. Performances, drogas y creación, mucha creación, incluyendo CHELSEA GIRLS, una de la películas experimentales más flipantes de todos los tiempos. Conoce la historia de esta mujer que documentó como nadie el Nueva York de los 60 y 70. _____________________________________________ Este programa y todo lo demás es posible gracias a personas como tú.

"No politicemos”, dice el más rufianesco de los rufianes, mientras las pruebas se esconden, la evidencia se entierra.Penúltimo clavo en un ataúd al nivel de la más negra serie negra, la de O.Welles en “Touch of Evil”(“Sed de Mal”).“¿Cual es mi futuro?, pregunta.“No lo tienes”, responde Marlene Dietrich.

Dame Siân Phillips transports Gyles back to her childhood in Wales in the 1930s and 40s, where she grew up in a Welsh-speaking mining village, of which she paints a vivid picture.

She also talks about her early success as an actress in her teens, going to RADA, and how she met Peter O'Toole and used to sit up all night with him playing the guitar. She talks about playing Marlene Dietrich and Livia in I, Claudius. This is an evocative interview with a remarkable actress and person. Cue the music.Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube here.

Extra Extra! Listen hear all about it! This week Janet, John, (and Pen) dive into the life of the zeitgeist of zeitgeists, the legendary, revolutionary, groundbreaking, funny force of nature who sang like a blue angel, our logo….Marlene Dietrich! Born on December 27, 1901 at Leberstraße 65 in the neighborhood of Rote Insel in Schöneberg, now a district of Berlin, Dietrich became one of the most iconic figures in the entertainment industry, known for her distinctive voice, smoldering sex appeal, glamorous style, and androgynous allure. Originally planning to become a classical violnist, an injury turned our starlet to theater. After a failed audition for Max Reinhardt, Dietrich got her start as a chorus girl in his theaters, but never seemed to get her big break on the stage. She moved her career towards film, acting in So sind die Männer (1923) and The Tragedy of Love (1923), while still maintaining a career on the stage and in cabaret— embodying the "New Women" lifestyle. By 1930, She got her big break in the film Der Blaue Engel (The Blue Angel) after film director, Josef Von Sternberg saw her performance in Zwei Krawatten (Two Ties). She would go on to act in Morocco (1930), Dishonored (1931), Blonde Venus (1932), The Scarlet Empress (1934), The Devil Is a Woman (1935), A Foreign Affair (1948), Stage Fright (1950), Witness for the Prosecution (1957), Touch of Evil (1958), and Judgment at Nuremberg (1961). She was also nominated for a best actress cast in 1932 for Morocco, Golden Globe and a Laurel Award in 1958 for WItness for the Prosecution.

Diese Folge startet mit einem ernsten, aber spannenden Thema: Longevity und Augengesundheit. Lars war bei einem Panel Talk und bringt frische Impulse mit, die wir direkt weiter diskutieren. Wie wichtig sind unsere Augen eigentlich im Kontext von Gesundheit und langem Leben? Alles natürlich nicht so ernst … Und wäre ein Brillen-Abo vielleicht sogar eine smarte Lösung für uns? Danach geht's nach Wien: Jana war dort beruflich unterwegs und ist – wenig überraschend – genauso begeistert wie Ramon und Lars. Kaffeehaus-Vibes, Kultur und diese ganz besondere Atmosphäre lassen sie nicht mehr los. Die Woche war außerdem musikalisch wild: Helene Fischer stand wieder auf der Bühne, und Ramon wollte unbedingt Tickets kaufen. Parallel dazu planen wir weitere kulturelle Highlights – Jana liebäugelt mit Jean Paul, während Lars sich auf Ute Lemper singt Marlene Dietrich freut. Natürlich fehlt auch der Alltagswahnsinn nicht: Jana hatte eine ganz besondere Amazon-Erfahrung, die sie unbedingt erzählen muss. Was es mit dem ominösen „Polster Rainer“ auf sich hat, erfahrt ihr nur in dieser Folge. Zum Schluss schauen wir nach vorn: Was wünschen wir uns für den Frühling? Jana sehnt sich nach Sonne, Ramon nach Licht und Lars nach diesen perfekten Tagen, an denen man draußen sitzt – mit Sonne im Gesicht und nur einem dicken Pulli. Zudem spekulieren wir darüber, wann Michelle wohl ihr Comeback feiern könnte – nachdem sie dieses Jahr aufhören will – und Ramon verrät, welche Anschaffungen bei ihm als Nächstes anstehen: Maßanzug, Schmuck und ein Whirlpool? Eine Folge zwischen Gesundheit, Kultur, Alltagsgeschichten und Vorfreude auf die nächste Jahreszeit.

In our latest tribute, Janet, John, (and Pen) celebrate the life and career of an extremely talented musical genius who wrote some of the most iconic and enduring songs of the 20th century... Burt Baharach! Born in Kansas City, Missouri on May 12th, 1928, Burt seemed to be destined for greatness. Encouraged by his amateur painter and songwriting mother, Burt took up practicing piano, drums, and the cello during his childhood. Using his musical gift, Bacharach continued his education at McGill University in Montreal, Mannes School of Music, and the Musica Academy of the West studying all kinds of music. At the age of 28, he was reccomended to Marlene Dietrich (fun fact: the star our logo is modeled after!) by Peter Matz as she needed an arranger and condutor for her nightclub shows. After becoming her part-time musical director, Baharach and Dietrich toured worldwide together, on and off, until the early 1960s. Eventually this musical genius met Hal David and Dionne Warwick. This trio would make songs that would sell over 12 million copies and have 39 consecutive chart hits. Some of those songs being "Anyone Who Had a Heart" (1963), "Walk On By" (1964), "Message to Michael" (1966), "I Say a Little Prayer" (1967), "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" (1968), "This Girl's in Love with You" (1969) and "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" (1969). Eventually this composer moved towards creating scores for film such Casino Royale (1967) and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), which won them a Academy Award, an Oscar, and a Grammy for best score. In his lifetime, Burt would go onto to creating many wonderful songs, gain many nominations, and win many awards for his absolutely outstanding music.

BARD annotation Propaganda girls: the secret war of the women in the OSS DB129114 Author: Rogak, Lisa Reading Time: 6 hours, 4 minutes Read by: Naeymi, Samara Subjects: Women, World History and Affairs, War and the Military “Betty MacDonald was a 28-year-old reporter from Hawaii. Zuzka Lauwers grew up in a tiny Czechoslovakian village and knew five languages by the time she was 21. Jane Smith-Hutton was the wife of a naval attaché living in Tokyo. Marlene Dietrich, the German-American actress and singer, was of course one of the biggest stars of the 20th century. These four women, each fascinating in her own right, together contributed to one of the most covert and successful military campaigns in WWII. As members of the OSS, their task was to create a secret brand of propaganda produced with the sole aim to break the morale of Axis soldiers. Working in the European theater, across enemy lines in occupied China, and in Washington, D.C., Betty, Zuzka, Jane, and Marlene forged letters and “official” military orders, wrote and produced entire newspapers, scripted radio broadcasts and songs, and even developed rumors for undercover spies and double agents to spread to the enemy. And outside of a small group of spies, no one knew they existed. Until now.”– From publisher. Unrated. Commercial audiobook. New York : Macmillan, 2025.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Hell begins with a grumbling mood, always complaining, always blaming others.”~C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) in his book The Great Divorce “Grumbling is the death of love.”~Marlene Dietrich (1901-1992), German-American actress “Bless you, prison! Bless you for being in my life. For there I came to realize that the object of life is not prosperity, as we are used to thinking, but the soul's work.”~Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2007), Russian writer of his time in a Soviet gulag “Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.”~Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr (1808-1890), French critic and novelist “Let us be ashamed of our slowness in thanking God when He gives, and of our quickness in grumbling at Him when He takes away.”~Nikolaj Velimirovic (1880-1956), Servian Orthodox prelate, imprisoned by the Nazis “Let me clear up something...God is not against you having things. He's against things having you.”~Voddie Baucham (1969-2025), pastor and writer “Gratitude is a vaccine, an antitoxin, and an antiseptic.”~John Henry Jowett (1863-1923), British minister and preacher “What the Lord wants is that you shall go about the business to which He sets you, not asking for an easy post, nor grumbling at a hard one.”~Catherine Booth (1829-1890), co-founder of The Salvation Army “Thankfulness is a flower which will never bloom well except upon a root of deep humility.”~J.C. Ryle (1816-1900), Anglican bishop of Liverpool “Praise is the rehearsal of our eternal song. By grace we learn to sing, and in glory we continue to sing. What will some of you do when you get to heaven, if you go on grumbling all the way? Do not hope to get to heaven in that style. But now begin to bless the name of the Lord.”~Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), famed London preacherSERMON PASSAGEPhilippians 2:12-18 (ESV)Philippians 2 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. 14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. 17 Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18 Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me. Philippians 1 12 I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, 13 so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. 14 And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 15 Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. 16 The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice, 19 for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, 20 as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. 24 But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again. 27 Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel, 28 and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God. 29 For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, 30 engaged in the same conflict that you saw I had and now hear that I still have.

I(n this episode, Christy brings in Josephine Baker and Marlene Dietrich who want to talk about how we can be authentic and still wear masks. From thier nonphysical perspective, a mask is not always used to hide. Sometimes, masks are worn for survival, for creation and for purpose. Wearing a mask in fear is designed to hide who we are, but when worn to highlight and aspect of ourselves it can be used to enhance that aspect and create new possibilities.

What is the fascination that we have with seductive avatars of oblivion? Carolyn Jones as Morticia Addams indoctrinated the adolescent me to the possibilities of the Succubus, and became my tween age, gothic sex symbol; the painting by Pre-Raphaeite John Millet: Ophelia (who floats beautifully in the river) hung on my dorm wall for years. Today, Double Trouble features a couple of ice queens who inspire detached sexual delirium, one contemporary, and one long gone, but still as magnetic as when she walked the earth: the enigmatic Lana Del Rey and Andy Warhol's muse - Nico (nee Christa Paffgen). LANA DEL REYWhen Lana Del Rey sings “We were born to die,” you know she's not fooling around. Her voice might be studiously without affect, but you can sense some psychic turmoil underneath. And when she purrs, “you like your girls insane,” she is obviously speaking from experience. Her Greta Garbo air of mystery smolders like an ember that could reignite and singe you at any moment. Of course, LDR is vastly more multi-dimensional as an artist than simply existing as a blank canvas on which to project our emo fantasies. Her later work, such as her fifth album, the widely acclaimed “Norman Fucking Rockwell” has generous reserves of humor, complexity, and intelligence to ponder and appreciate. And, her recent marriage hints at even further explorations of domestic bliss. So maybe our gothic goddess will be embracing life going forward.NICOSpeaking of blank canvasses on which we can project our fantasies - Nico, the fashion model, turned Chanteuse, was the ultimate receptive surface. She wasn't even a singer at first, veering off key as she often did, but her voice with its hypnotic, Germanic drone had its undeniable charms. And, Andy Warhol knew the socko glamor that he was wielding when he saddled the Velvet Underground with her, making her their front person. Who knows if the group, as brilliant as they were, would have garnered any attention initially if it wasn't for Warhol's 1960s answer to Marlene Dietrich. Nico struggled with heroin addiction and died tragically young in a senseless bicycle accident, but before she left us she created, (with the help of Velvet's veteran John Cale as producer) some unforgettable mantras. Frozen Warnings is one of the most compelling - It's harmonium and droning viola conjure the sense of tip-toeing across a frozen lake and feeling the ice cracking under your feet as you try to reach the glaciated siren.
Paris hosts renowned photographer Matthew Rolston, delving into his illustrious career that began in editorial photography with Interview Magazine and Rolling Stone. Rolston shares anecdotes about working with iconic figures like Michael Jackson and Madonna, revealing his conceptual approach to celebrity portraits, such as his Marlene Dietrich-inspired shoot with Madonna and Michael Jackson's "King of Pop" request. He also discusses his extensive work in advertising for major cosmetic brands like Revlon and L'Oréal, and his transition into directing music videos during the MTV era, highlighting how these commercial ventures fueled his creative pursuits.Rolston reflects on the evolving media landscape, expressing his views on the decline of print magazines and the rise of social media and AI imagery. He emphasizes that while traditional platforms are changing, the essence of powerful image-making remains, and sees AI as a tool that can both lower and raise the bar for creative output. The conversation also touches on his early influences, including his childhood experiences in Los Angeles, his grandfather's connections to MGM stars, as well as his education at Art Center, all of which shaped his artistic vision.Finally, Rolston discusses his shift from commercial work to personal art projects, driven by a desire to create a lasting legacy. He introduces his conceptual projects like the ventriloquist dummies series, “Talking Heads” and his exploration into art artmaking with "Art People," and details his upcoming "Vanitas" exhibition, which will be spread across four venues in Los Angeles, including ArtCenter and Leica Gallery, Los Angeles. He expresses his excitement for this new chapter and his love of teaching, giving him the opportunity to share his knowledge with the next generation of visual artists.Show Notes:www.theparischongshow.com/episodes/matthew-rolston-an-unparalleled-career-from-pop-culture-iconography-to-fine-artUpcoming Shows:Hollywood Royale: Out of the School of Los Angeles: https://www.hollywoodroyale.comTalking Heads: The Vent Haven Portraits: https://matthewrolstontalkingheads.combeautyLIGHT: Pictures at a Magazine: https://www.beautylight.comArt People: The Pageant Portraits: https://www.matthewrolstonartpeople.comVanitas: The Palermo Portraits: https://www.vanitasproject.comTHE POWER OF PLEASURE, ARTCENTER CLASShttps://www.thepowerofpleasure.comChapters:(00:00:00) Intro(00:00:30) Matthew Rolston(00:00:54) Editorial Work(00:07:50) Who's who of the 80's(00:11:38) Sunny, Cher or Chastity(00:12:54) Bucket List(00:13:55) Advertising(00:16:22) MTV & Music Videos(00:17:35) Teaching(00:22:30) Social Media(00:24:45) AI(00:29:01) Early Influences(00:35:43) LA(00:37:02) Andy Warhol & the Factory(00:40:34) Long Live Print(00:45:11) Disaster Story(00:49:11) Shifting Focus(00:56:04) Vanitas & Upcoming Shows(01:03:04) What's The Most Important Thing You Are?(01:05:36) Outro
Dynamic and debonair, Cesar Romero was best known for creating the role of the Joker in the 1960s Batman television series. As the first actor to play Batman and Robin's villainous nemesis, Romero established the character's giddy, manic tone and the distinctive laugh that subsequent actors like Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, and Joaquin Phoenix would use as the starting points in their own Oscar-nominated (Nicholson) and Oscar-winning (Ledger and Phoenix) performances. As a closeted gay man of Latin American descent, Romero gracefully faced many personal challenges while maintaining his suave public image and starring opposite legends ranging from Shirley Temple to Marlene Dietrich, Carmen Miranda to Frank Sinatra, and Kurt Russell to Jane Wyman.The first biography of the consummate entertainer, Cesar Romero: The Joker Is Wild, captures the critical moments of Romero's childhood, adolescence, and accomplishments in Hollywood. Author Samuel Garza Bernstein shares anecdotes regarding Romero's public and personal life, as well as Romero's private disdain for his reputation as the "Latin lover," a discriminatory stereotype he found constrictive both in terms of his range as an actor and as a man who kept his sexuality private.Cesar Romero is an in-depth study of a significant Hollywood star and his impact on the entertainment industry. Batman made him immortal, but with more than four hundred film and television credits, his six-decade career as an actor, dancer, and singer made him a true Hollywood icon."If you're a fan of classic movies, Hollywood's star-studded golden age, comic book superheroes like Batman, and (along with Darth Vader and the Wicked Witch of the West) one of the three greatest villains in cinema history, the Joker, you'll applaud and even maniacally cackle at this in-depth revelation of the utterly true story of Cesar Romero. And that's no joke!" -Michael Uslan, Originator and Executive Producer of the Batman movie franchise.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.
De “La insoportable levedad del ser” de Milan Kundera a "la insoportable levedad del mal” que Hannah Arend acuñó a propósito del mediático juicio a Eichmann (1961) nazi que participó en la “solución final", para llegar a “Touch of Evil” ("Sed de Mal”) -1958- de Orson Welles. Todo empieza por un mítico plano secuencia de 3´ 20” y acaba con Marlene Dietrich echando las cartas al villano que interpreta Welles: "tu futuro no existe". Un policía atípico, un irreal villano, un santo bebedor en una pieza. Un mundo en el que el bien y el mal se confunden y su banalidad, ayer como hoy, todo lo iguala.

Goldstaub war für euch unterwegs in Berlin, Frankfurt und Mannheim. Wir stellen vier Ausstellungen vor, die sich mit unterschiedlichen Aspekten der 1920er Jahre beschäftigen und durften dafür mit den Kuratorinnen sprechen. Unsere Reise beginnt im Jüdischen Museum Berlin. Die Ausstellung „WIDERSTÄNDE. Jüdische Designerinnen der Moderne“ würdigt das Schaffen von 60 deutsch-jüdischen Kunsthandwerkerinnen. Eine jahrzehntelange Arbeit mündet in dieser fantastischen Ausstellung mit zahlreichen bisher nie gezeigten Exponaten. Kuratorin Michal Friedlander stellt uns einige der größtenteils unbekannten Frauen vor. Ebenfalls in Berlin befindet sich die Berlinische Galerie. „Inszeniertes Selbst“ heißt die Ausstellung über die ebenfalls wenig bekannte Künstlerin Marta Astfalck-Vietz (1901–1994), die neben vielen faszinierenden Selbstinszenierungen auch Akt- und Tanzfotografien sowie experimentelle Bilder hinterlassen hat. Kuratorin Mette Kleinsteubner erzählt uns, wie humorvoll die Künstlerin Geschlechterrollen hinterfragt. Die nächste Ausstellung ist gleichzeitig eine Geburtstagsfeier: 100 Jahre Neues Frankfurt, 100 Jahre revolutionäres Stadtplanungsprogramm, 100 Jahre Gemeinwohlorientierung. Grit Weber, die stellvertretende Direktorin und Kuratorin für Design, Kunst und Medien des Museum Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt am Main, zeigt uns, dass nicht nur in Berlin damals ein äußerst moderner Wohnungsbau stattfand. Ihr Museum hat gleich mehrere Ausstellungen zu diesem Thema zu bieten. Unsere Ausstellungsreise endet in Mannheim, wo Kuratorin Dr. Manuela Husemann uns einen Fotografen präsentiert, der äußerst erfolgreich in der Weimarer Republik war, bevor er vergessen wurde: „Berlin, Paris und anderswo. Mario von Bucovich Fotografien 1925–1947“ ist der Titel einer Ausstellung, in der auch besondere Fotos von Marlene Dietrich zu entdecken sind. Viel Spaß mit den Gesprächen und hoffentlich eine schöne Ausstellungsreise auch euch! Gäste: Michal Friedlander, Kuratorin der Ausstellung “WIDERSTÄNDE.

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour ! Bienvenue dans ce nouvel entretien historique dans lequel j'ai eu le plaisir d'accueillir Nicolas Patin, qui est spécialiste de l'histoire de l'Allemagne de 1914 à 1945, du nazisme, de la Shoah, et de la République de Weimar. Et si vous avez lu le titre, vous le savez : Weimar, on va en parler aujourd'hui ! Parce que cette république, à part savoir qu'elle a été en place entre la chute de l'Empire allemand et l'arrivée au pouvoir des nazis, au final on n'en sait pas forcément grand chose, et l'émission d'aujourd'hui va permettre de rectifier un peu le tir ! Alors ne faisons pas plus long, je vous souhaite une bonne écoute sur Nota Bene !➤ Pour aller plus loin :➜ Découvrez le livre “Le monde nazi : 1919 - 1945” que Nicolas a coécrit avec Christian Ingrao et Johann Chapoutot : https://www.tallandier.com/livre/le-monde-nazi/ ➜ Retrouvez le passage de Nicolas chez le camarade Rivenzi : https://youtu.be/JtXm_i2TU3g
Amongst its pages, there are many familiar names—Oscar Wilde, Quentisn Crisp, Sappho, James Baldwin, Freddie Mercury — but also many we might not expect: Florence Nightingale, Marlene Dietrich, Cary Grant, J. Edgar Hoover, Eleanor Roosevelt, Tchaikovsky, Greta Garbo, Richard the Lionheart, even Abraham Lincoln, along with 1000 other stories of artists, generals, politicians, kings, despots and many more figures drawn from 5000 years of hidden culture. Keith Stern came to the Bureau to talk about his extraordinary encyclopaedia ‘Queers in History', what drove him to write it, and why it matters. The book is more than a who's-who of queer life —it's a challenge to the official version of the past, a reminder of how history gets made, unmade, and remade, depending on who's telling the stories, inviting us to consider how queerness has always existed, and has contributed to the culture. And we get into the subject of whether Gandalf was Queer - yes, we really do…

The Scarlet Empress (1934) / City of Lost Souls (1983) This week we're pitching a big tent as we rise to power with Marlene Dietrich in Josef von Sternberg's hallucinatory historical pageant and try to make it in Berlin in Rosa von Praunheim's trans new wave musical
Marlene Dietrich and Emil Jannings were two of the biggest stars in both Weimar Germany and Hollywood in the early 20th century…they're not that bothered about each other, but they would star together in The Blue Angel, filmed precisely as Wall Street crashed, catapulting them off into wildly different directions, personally, professionally and politically. This episode began as an attempt to check in with these two people in 1945, and whilst we do that, they're too interesting to confine to that one time! We kick off with Jannings, because you have to eat your slightly rotten cabbage before you get to a delicious cream-topped strudel like Marlene…we don't make the rules. Who had better legs? Who literally tried hiding behind their Oscar? How many tangents can we get into one episode?! Find out and please enjoy this romp through movie history, the 20th century, and don't worry, some WAR!++++++History Flakes LIVE RECORDING JULY 20TH 18.30, Comedy Cafe Berlin

EPISODE 86 - “ANNA MAY WONG: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” - 5/5/2025 Anna May Wong was once the most famous Chinese woman in the world. The trailblazing actress, philanthropist, and fashion icon appeared in over 60 films and was a celebrated star, yet, at the time, she was not allowed to kiss a Caucasian man on screen, which limited the roles she could take, and she was not allowed to buy a house in Beverly Hills. A strange dichotomy, indeed. In recent years, she has enjoyed a much-deserved resurgence. Known as a Trailblazer and a cultural icon, she paved the way for generations of Asian and Asian American actors by proving that talent and perseverance could transcend racist casting conventions. Her life and career continue to influence conversations about diversity, representation, and the politics of race in Hollywood. This week, she is our Star of the Month.

We're celebrating the birthday month of the iconic Marlene Deitrich by revisiting a special episode from the "Mobituaries" audiobook. Marlene Dietrich cemented her status as a Hollywood legend with a series of iconic performances that flouted traditional women's roles and ignited the screen. But it's her passionate support for the United States, her adopted homeland, and the troops fighting in World War II that led Hitler to label her a traitor to the "Fatherland." When she could have enjoyed the indulgences of fame, she risked everything. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
