  2. Book review: Charlotte Chandler's 'Marlene: Marlene Dietrich, A Personal Biography'

    It hardly seems possible that there could be room for yet another important biography on so iconic a star as Marlene Dietrich, already the subject of a remarkably candid yet detached memoir by her daughter Maria Riva and of the late Steven Bach's thoughtful and exhaustively researched "Marlene Dietrich: Life and Legend." Both were published not long after Dietrich's death in Paris at 91 in 1992. Yet Charlotte Chandler's "Marlene: Marlene Dietrich, A Personal Biography" proves invaluable. As with such self-protective, image-conscious legends as Katharine Hepburn, Joan Crawford and Mae West, Chandler has again demonstrated her unparalleled ability to get major figures of Hollywood's golden age to talk about their lives with unprecedented openness.

  4. Paging Disney's Rich Ross: Whatever you do, don't read this 'Secretariat' review!

    The Big Picture
    Even though Salon's Andrew O'Hehir manages to call "Secretariat" "a work of genius" at one point in his new review, I don't think we'll be seeing Disney putting O'Hehir in its blurb ads this weekend. In fact, I suspect that......

  8. Luis Mandoki dissents with 'Fraude Mexico 2006'

    LUIS MANDOKI has been called the Michael Moore of Mexico, a filmmaker whose overtly partisan documentaries preach messages to viewers who are already inclined to believe. But that's not the worst thing his critics had to say of Mandoki's most recent film, which purports to prove fraud in the Mexican presidential election of 2006. One writer compared the director, who is Jewish, to infamous Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl, who championed her friend Adolf Hitler in the 1934 film "Triumph of the Will."

  9. Tips for first-timers

    For novice opera fans, settling into Wagner's &quot;Ring" cycle is the equivalent of climbing Mt. Everest after taking up an interest in rock climbing. It's the medium's grandest, longest, most physically taxing production for fan and performer alike. For those Angelenos who plan to make this historic production their introduction to opera, we consulted Cameron Silver -- co-founder of the young opera supporter's group Aria and owner of the vintage couture shop <a href="http://www.decadesinc.com/">Decades Inc</a> -- and Cooper Ray, who writes the etiquette blog <a href="http://www.socialprimer.com/">Social Primer</a> and is writing the book "Social Primer for the American Man." They gave advice on how to prepare, endure and be ready to be wowed.

  11. COLA 2009 an accessible brew in Barnsdall Park

    This year's exhibition of artworks by the winners of the city of Los Angeles' $10,000 Individual Artist Fellowships is better than ever. The sculptures, videos, photographs and one whopper of a painting by nine artists deliver a satisfying mixture of ambition and accomplishment. In nearly all the pieces, these qualities play off each other in ways that make for lively exchanges and leave plenty of room for viewer participation.

  12. 'Dancing in the Dark: A Cultural History of the Great Depression' by Morris Dickstein

    Morris Dickstein's &quot;Dancing in the Dark" is not exactly the syncretic "Cultural History of the Great Depression" that its subtitle promises -- at best, the book treats inferentially the broad political and social trends of that desperate, crucial era. Let me quickly add, the book is something better than that: a collection of thoughtfully linked essays on relatively few but exemplary works and their creators -- novels, poems, plays, movies, art (both high and decorative) and music (both popular and classical) that defined the period between the Crash of 1929 and America's entrance into World War II. These admirably written pieces are marked by a generosity of spirit that never deteriorates into the quarrelsome or the niggardly, even when Dickstein does not fully endorse the objects he's discussing.
