Very interesting bio of this German actress, especially how she made it through the war.
In diesem Buch berichtet Hildegard Knef über ihre ersten 45 Lebensjahre. Interessant für mich ist vor allem ihre Zeit im Krieg gewesen. Lustig fand ich, wie sehr sich Frau Knef, aber auch Frau Dietrich und andere Stars vom astrologischen Urteil Carroll Righters abhängig machten- oft zu Recht! Manches fand ich auch recht langatmig erzählt und eher uninteressant. Insgesamt wird das Buch ja oft sehr gelobt. Ich muss aber sagen, dass ich mir lieber die Musik der Knef anhöre, v.a. das Ostseelied.
