Steven Bach
Steven Bach (April 29, 1938 – March 25, 2009)[1][2] was senior vice-president and head of worldwide productions for United Artists studios.
In 1990, he was a member of the jury at the 40th Berlin International Film Festival.[3]
Bach is the author of The Life and Legend of Marlene Dietrich and Dazzler: The Life and Times of Moss Hart. He taught film studies at Columbia University and Bennington College.
His biography of the Nazi-associated filmmaker Leni: The Life and Work of Leni Riefenstahl (2007) overturns many of the claims Riefenstahl put forward in her self-defence regarding her contact with Hitler's regime, and was named by the New York Times as one of the most notable books of 2007.
Bach died of cancer in March 2009. He is survived by his companion, Werner Röhr.[1]
