Description of  The Sun and Her Stars Salka Viertel and Hitler's Exiles in the Golden Age of Hollywood [Audiobook]

English | December 22, 2020 | ASIN: B08QZVWFLQ |kbps | 12h 36m | 711 MB Author: Donna Rifkind | Narrator: Heather Henderson The little-known story of screenwriter Salka Viertel, whose salons in 1930s and 40s Hollywood created a refuge for a multitude of famous figures who had escaped the horrors of World War II. Viertel combined a modern-before-her-time sensibility with the Old-World advantages of a classical European education and fluency in eight languages. She united great worldliness and great warmth. She was a true bohemian with a complicated erotic life, and at the same time a universal mother figure. A vital presence in the golden age of Hollywood, Salka Viertel is long overdue for her own moment in the spotlight.
