And don't forget Leni Riefenstahl and Michael Moore. Two peas in a pod.

I could be wrong, but I thought that Leni Riefenstahl actually did "good" work prior to 1933. Again I could be wrong, but I recall reading, seeing on TV(?) something to that effect.

In any case, Michael Moore couldn't hold her purse. Regardless of her product during Adolph's reign, she was at least talented and a 'true artist'.

Wait I just found this, I was right; Leni Riefenstahl . She was an artist long before her involvement with the Nazis.

I imagine that a number of Nazis did "good" works before their used their talents to mechanize and sell an evil regime.

Leni remained unwilling to apologize for her past. She just claimed that she was misunderstood and distant during those years.

Fritz Lang could have had her job. He fled to America instead. Everyone has choices.

Leni Riefenstahl was honored by the Academy at the Oscars when they showed her picture among those who had died in the previous year.
