Burt Bacharach has died at 94. It would be impossible to overstate his importance in the music world. From 1952 until now, he has contributed so much to the tapestry of our lives, especially — but not exclusively — with his work for Dionne Warwick.

Full obit here.

I must admit that when I think of him, along with his work, I think of his associations with Marlene Dietrich and Angie Dickinson!

And Now For The Inevitable One: A Marlene Dietrich Retrospective Comments (0)

Marlene Dietrich was always one of my movie idols — her glamour and modernity in her films were utterly unique, even to the point where debating her acting seemed pointless.

One of my all-time favorite films is the Maximilian Schell doc on the grande dame, Marlene (1987). In it, she refuses to be seen so offers only her gravelly voice-over as she and Schell combatively go over the details of her incredible life and career.

Now, Metrograph in NYC is planning a 19-film retrospective on Dietrich, which will include the doc as well as Rainer Werner Fassbinder's Lola, which was inspired by her.

The retrospective kicks off May 23 — I cahn't vait.
