MARLENE DIETRICH's grandson is delving into the late Hollywood icon's relationship with French actor JEAN GABIN for his latest script. MICHAEL RIVA, who has worked as a production designer on a string of films, including CHARLIE'S ANGELS, A FEW GOOD MEN and LETHAL WEAPON, is researching the German actress' doomed relationship with Gabin - her co-star in 1946 drama MARTIN ROUMAGNAC. Riva describes the screenplay as "an old fashioned love story filled with passion, regret and eventual redemption".
