Trude Herr

You were a very bright star in post-war Germany. On both films and stage, you garnered popularity. Most men did not consider you a raving beauty. However, with your pleasing plumpness, you were a cutie. What a great talent you were. You must have been proud. You had a great singing voice that was rather loud. One of your hit songs was one I can’t forget. Translated into English, you sang “I Don’t Want Chocolate”. I was sad to hear that you passed away. Trude, I wish you were still around today.

A lovely and moving read. It speaks wonders of the great movie-star and singer and you delivered this piece with refined grace and imagery. Excellently done! Thank you for your kind comments on mine and a very Happy New Year to you and yours...and you are so right I am from Canada.
