DIETRICH'S LETTERS SELL FOR $4,200

A collection of letters written by film legend MARLENE DIETRICH have sold for $4,200 (£2,800) at a German auction house.
Berlin's J.A. Stargardt auction house sold 130 letters, penned by the German-American actress to late Swedish costume designer Max Goldstein over a period of four decades, to a private bidder on Wednesday (24Jun09).
She writes in one note dated November 1969: "Either one is a world star or not. ... I feel uneasy in my own skin. Spiritually, of course."
A spokesperson for the auction house says, "These letters show an intimate and close friendship over a long period of time, through a business and private exchange between these two friends."
Dietrich died in Paris in 1992, aged 90.
