Kruger has in common with Dietrich that she made it into Hollywood as a German. Like Akin, she is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science, which awards the Oscars; Akin and Kruger previously worked on the multi-award-winning drama Together out of nowhere. And Kruger – the ones in the Hollywood production Troy played the beautiful Helena, by Tarantino for Inglourious Basterds was engaged and is celebrated internationally for her leading roles – meanwhile, in the mixture of public restraint and great glamor, is already reminiscent of Marlene Dietrich. In turn, she began her film career at Ufa in Berlin. The film should be based on the Marlene Dietrich biography “My Mother Marlene” by daughter Maria Riva, it said. It is still a mystery where the production will run.
