Review
Born Karoline Blamauer in Vienna in 1898, Lenya spent an impoverished childhood there before launching her career in Zurich and then Berlin, where she met and married Weill. The cream of the Berlin arts scene, Weill and Lenya left Germany in 1933 following the election of Hitler as Chancellor. Weill was Jewish and an advocate of freedom of expression--his play Der Silbersee (The Silver Lake), which contained a character caricaturing Hitler, had already been banned by the authorities. The couple went to Paris, and then, when the threat of war in Europe became imminent, to the United States, where both enjoyed highly successful careers on Broadway. Weill died suddenly in 1950, but Lenya carried on, tirelessly reinterpreting his and others' work; appearing on stage and screen (most memorably as Rosa Krebb in the 1963 James Bond film From Russia with Love), until well into later life. She died at the age of 83 in 1981.
Lenya the Legend: A Pictorial Autobiography is a fascinating book packed full of Lenya's own forthright reminiscences, interviews and letters, lavishly illustrated with photographs of the star from vampish Berlin cabaret days, through the glamour of her Broadway career and later years. Published to coincide with the centenary of her birth, it is a fitting tribute to a formidable legend. --Catherine Taylor
