Paulette Goddard: Erich Maria Remarque
built 642 days ago
In the new duel biography of actress Paulette Goddard and author Erich Maria Remarque, author Julia Gilbert tells the fascinating story of two luminaries virtually forgotten today. "Opposite Attraction" should rekindle the interest in Goddard and Remarque'a careers and lives which they both deserve.

Goddard starred as an outspoken maid in a 19th-century French household, in what is often regarded as one of Renoir's best American films. Her career was in decline by the 1950s... and she appeared in a number of B pictures such as Babes in Bagdad, The Sins of Jezebel, and The Charge of the Lancers. With her marriage to Erich Maria Remarque in 1958, she ceased working, appearing only in the Italian Gli indifferenti (based on an Alberto Moravia novel) in 1964 and making a rare television appearance in The Snoop Sisters in 1972.

The Julie Gilbert Papers are the materials Julie Gilbert used in writing her biography Opposite Attraction: The Lives of Erich Maria Remarque and Paulette Goddard. Julie Gilbert donated the collection in July 1998 and organized it as she packed the materials for shipment.

Goddard's film appearances in the 1950s were in such demeaning B pictures as Vice Squad (1953) and Babes in Baghdad (1953). Still quite beautiful, and possessed of a keener intellect than most movie actors, she retreated to Europe with her fourth (or third?) husband, German novelist Erich Maria Remarque ({~All Quiet on the Western Front}).
