Dean Reed: biography
Dean Reed is an actor, singer, musician, director and composer from the USA, beloved by the public in Soviet countries. He was an amazingly handsome, stately man, photo- and telegenic, artistic, and also played the guitar beautifully. His songs were known all over the world, and women in different countries went crazy from the crooked smile, athletic figure and incredible timbre of the voice of this talented and charismatic singer. He became a legend during his lifetime.Legendary Dean Reed
Born in 1938. Young Dean received his first musical instrument - a guitar - as a birthday present; he wrote his first song about passionate love at the age of 16. Having entered the university, the impetuous young man drops out of school and decides to see if his talent is enough for a full-fledged successful career as a musician. This adventurous act led to Reed's first contact with a major music label being signed at the age of 20. His tracks were not immediately noticed by the audience, but the songs from the second and, especially, the third album received numerous rotations on the radio, were loved by the people and even entered the charts of the “hottest hits” of those years.Dean Reed in his youth
He goes on tour first in the USA, and then comes to Latin America, where he will experience dizzying success. Here he stays for several years to create, give concerts, act in television shows and even host his own TV show.It was in Latin America that he became interested in “leftist” political views and became a social activist who advocated the fight against poverty and world peace. This makes his managers and tour director very nervous, but the artist is adamant. He begins to take an interest in local politics and participate in public dialogue, but this does not end well - during the national revolution, Dean is first imprisoned and then deported from Argentina.
Residents of the USSR will forever remember him for his performance of the songs “Bella, Ciao”, “Hava Nagila” and many others. The main legendary moment in his career on Soviet soil was the performance of the song “Elizabeth” on New Year’s Eve on the country’s main television channel. After this, records with his recordings were sold out in millions of copies in Soviet Russia.

Many Americans did this. My father also had a restless spirit. Thanks to this, I have seen a lot in my homeland. The most beautiful state in America for me is Colorado. There are many high mountains, from 21 to 4000 meters, many rivers, so clean and bright that you can still drink their water, many forests, many animals, few industrial enterprises, many ranches, cowboys, rodeos and wild horses.”
At the age of 12, he learned to play the guitar, which he never parted with. He composed songs and music.

First wife - Patricia Reed (Hobs), actress. The marriage produced a daughter, Ramona (born 1968).
For 15 years he had an affair with an Estonian actress. For the sake of Dean, the actress broke up with her husband. She recalled: “We met Dean Reed in 1971 in Moscow. We fell in love at first sight. And our love did not die, and will never die. As soon as our eyes met, Dean grabbed me in his arms and, when our faces touched , began to kiss me. After Moscow, he came to Tallinn, and every evening he sang serenades under my window. I will never forget our first snowy winter in Tallinn, and the wonderful Dean Reed, who was incredibly in love with me.”
The second wife, Wiebke Reed (Dorndek), worked as a teacher and as a model.
Married on May 17, 1976, they had a daughter, Natasha. In November 1977, Dean Reed and Wiebke divorced.
Later, Dean Reed’s translator in the USSR, Oleg Smirnov, said in an interview that Wiebke was set up for Dean by the GDR secret services: “Many years later, analyzing all the circumstances of this acquaintance, Dean and I came to the conclusion that this girl was “planted” on him so that he would live in the GDR. After their divorce, she made a dizzying career in the GDR Foreign Ministry.”
Third wife - East German actress. Reed adopted her son Alexander.
Renata Blume recalled that Dean’s romantic way of courtship captivated her. "Once I was driving with my son on vacation in the winter. On the autobahn, he stopped us and brought us a warm milkshake. If he was on the road, he sent telegrams daily. He was full of incredible attention. He always made sure that I understood that I - the most wonderful woman in his life. It soon became clear to me: we belong to each other, and I can once again decide on this. In 1981 there was a wedding - in white clothes made of romantic lace,” she said.

In the midst of perestroika, in June 1986, the whole world learned of the death of singer and musician Dean Reed, an American living in the GDR. What caused this tragedy? Who was interested in the death of the musician and public figure? Are his beloved women involved in this whole story? Watch the documentary “Dean Reed” on the TVC channel. The Mystery of Life and Death" on Thursday, November 6, at 23:05.
American singer and film actor Dean Reed was a favorite of Soviet audiences. Always cheerful and open to communication, the American artist was a welcome guest in all socialist countries. Therefore, when a message appeared about his unexpected and equally mysterious death, there were many versions of the cause of his death.
When Reed's body was found in Lake Zeutener See on June 17, 1986, it was underwater, covered with rocks. Forensic experts concluded that the singer died almost four days ago. Further data on the causes of death are surrounded by various contradictory details.
According to the official police version, the singer's death was an accident. However, his mother and first wife Patricia are sure that Dean was killed for his decision to return to America. His last wife, Renata Blume, does not give interviews. But one day she let slip that her husband was killed with five stabs. And yet, most of his acquaintances are sure that after a quarrel with his wife, the singer decided to take his own life.
His neighbor, General Eberhard Fansch, talks about this in the film - he and his wife heard Dean and Renata arguing loudly shortly before the tragedy. After some time, it became known that a suicide note addressed to the general was left on the seat of the deceased singer’s car. Fansch himself recalls that Dean often had thoughts of suicide, but his neighbor managed to talk him out of the terrible act. In the film, Fansch bitterly admits: “He promised that he wouldn’t do anything to himself. He swore that he wouldn’t do it, but he did...”
Doubts that Dean Reed's death is suicide are expressed by the singer's friend, translator Oleg Smirnov. He is sure that there are a lot of blank spots in this case, and the fact that the body was hastily cremated proves that the GDR authorities wanted to hide something. Random witnesses also disappeared in unknown ways. When Patricia, who arrived at the scene of the death, asked one of the police officers why Reed’s wallet was dry if it was found in the lake, she heard an unexpected answer: who said that the body was found in the lake? When the woman later tried to find this policeman, he disappeared without a trace. Many people are puzzled by another detail. If it was suicide, then why was the body pressed to the bottom by stones? The filmmakers are trying to understand all versions of this case.
After the liquidation of the Stasi (GDR Ministry of State Security), residents of East Germany learned that there was a detailed dossier on each of them. A person like Dean Reed, especially, could not help but be under the close supervision of this service. However, according to Stasi Museum expert Felix Müller, there is not a single dossier on Reed in the Stasi archives. And there is no true information about how the artist died.
One of the great successes of the film’s authors is a large exclusive interview with the Estonian actress Eve Kivi, with whom Dean Reed had a long-term affair. Despite the fact that the singer was very much loved in the USSR, he was not allowed to buy an apartment in Moscow and was forbidden to officially register his marriage with the woman he loved. And for many years Eva and Dean had to meet in hotels...
Not only is the interview with Kiwi unique, but the documentary is entirely based on exclusive materials. For example, it shows documents that none of the TV viewers could see before - the results of the autopsy of the body, refuting some versions of the death, the text of Dean Reed's suicide letter.
The authors of the film trace Reed's entire creative and life path - starting from the moment when, at the age of 12, without knowing any musical literacy, he learned six chords on the guitar and began writing songs. He sang them to anyone who would listen.

He sang them to anyone who would listen. Once such a random listener turned out to be a Columbia Records producer... Already in 1961, the 23-year-old singer, having albums of recorded songs, went on tour to Latin America. He meets Salvador Allende, Che Guevara, Victor Jara. The political views of the cheerful American are rapidly changing. The whole world was discussing the singer’s act when Reed demonstratively washed the American flag “from the blood of Vietnamese children.”
Due to conflicts with the American government, the singer leaves the country and, without receiving permission to stay in the USSR, finds a new home in the GDR. Why did Dean Reed once say during a meeting with Ewe Kiwi: “How I hate this country and the people from the GDR”? Why did the singer receive death threats in Germany? According to the film participants, Dean Reed played his role in the political arena. And at the turn of the era, there is no need for witnesses to either ups or downs. Those who had been his puppeteers all his life, who had manipulated him, knew this. But will we know their names?

Excerpt characterizing Reed, Dean
He waited to see if the cornet would answer. But the cornet turned and left the corridor.The Pavlograd Hussar Regiment was stationed two miles from Braunau. The squadron, in which Nikolai Rostov served as a cadet, was located in the German village of Salzeneck. The squadron commander, captain Denisov, known throughout the cavalry division under the name Vaska Denisov, was allocated the best apartment in the village. Junker Rostov, ever since he caught up with the regiment in Poland, lived with the squadron commander.
On October 11, the very day when everything in the main apartment was raised to its feet by the news of Mack's defeat, at the squadron headquarters, camp life calmly went on as before. Denisov, who had lost all night at cards, had not yet come home when Rostov returned from foraging early in the morning on horseback. Rostov, in a cadet's uniform, rode up to the porch, pushed his horse, threw off his leg with a flexible, youthful gesture, stood on the stirrup, as if not wanting to part with the horse, finally jumped off and shouted to the messenger.
“Ah, Bondarenko, dear friend,” he said to the hussar who rushed headlong towards his horse. “Lead me out, my friend,” he said with that brotherly, cheerful tenderness with which good young people treat everyone when they are happy.
“I’m listening, your Excellency,” answered the Little Russian, shaking his head cheerfully.
- Look, take it out well!
Another hussar also rushed to the horse, but Bondarenko had already thrown over the reins of the bit. It was obvious that the cadet spent a lot of money on vodka, and that it was profitable to serve him. Rostov stroked the horse’s neck, then its rump, and stopped on the porch.
“Nice! This will be the horse!” he said to himself and, smiling and holding his saber, ran up onto the porch, rattling his spurs. The German owner, in a sweatshirt and cap, with a pitchfork with which he was clearing out manure, looked out of the barn. The German's face suddenly brightened as soon as he saw Rostov. He smiled cheerfully and winked: “Schon, gut Morgen!” Schon, gut Morgen! [Wonderful, good morning!] he repeated, apparently finding pleasure in greeting the young man.
- Schon fleissig! [Already at work!] - said Rostov with the same joyful, brotherly smile that never left his animated face. - Hoch Oestreicher! Hoch Russen! Kaiser Alexander hoch! [Hurray Austrians! Hurray Russians! Emperor Alexander, hurray!] - he turned to the German, repeating the words often spoken by the German owner.
The German laughed, walked completely out of the barn door, pulled
cap and, waving it over his head, shouted:
– Und die ganze Welt hoch! [And the whole world cheers!]
Rostov himself, just like a German, waved his cap over his head and, laughing, shouted: “Und Vivat die ganze Welt”! Although there was no reason for special joy either for the German, who was cleaning out his barn, or for Rostov, who was riding with his platoon for hay, both these people looked at each other with happy delight and brotherly love, shook their heads as a sign of mutual love and parted smiling - the German to the cowshed, and Rostov to the hut he occupied with Denisov.
- What is it, master? - he asked Lavrushka, Denisov’s lackey, a rogue known to the entire regiment.
- Haven't been since last night. That’s right, we lost,” Lavrushka answered. “I already know that if they win, they’ll come early to brag, but if they don’t win until morning, that means they’ve lost their minds, and they’ll come angry.” Would you like some coffee?
- Come on, come on.
After 10 minutes, Lavrushka brought coffee. They're coming! - he said, - now there’s trouble. - Rostov looked out the window and saw Denisov returning home. Denisov was a small man with a red face, shiny black eyes, and black tousled mustache and hair. He had an unbuttoned mantle, wide chikchirs lowered in folds, and a crumpled hussar cap on the back of his head. He gloomily, with his head down, approached the porch.
“Lavg’ushka,” he shouted loudly and angrily. “Well, take it off, you idiot!”
“Yes, I’m filming anyway,” Lavrushka’s voice answered.
- A! “You’re already up,” Denisov said, entering the room.
“A long time ago,” said Rostov, “I already went for hay and saw the maid of honor Matilda.”
- That's how it is! And I puffed up, bg"at, why"a, like a son of a bitch! - Denisov shouted, without pronouncing the word. - Such a misfortune! Such a misfortune! As you left, so it went. Hey, some tea!
Denisov, wrinkling his face, as if smiling and showing his short, strong teeth, began to ruffle his fluffy black thick hair with both hands with short fingers, like a dog.
“Why didn’t I have the money to go to this kg”ysa (the officer’s nickname),” he said, rubbing his forehead and face with both hands. “Can you imagine, not a single one, not a single one?” "You didn't give it.
Denisov took the lit pipe that was handed to him, clenched it into a fist, and, scattering fire, hit it on the floor, continuing to scream.
- Sempel will give, pag"ol will beat; Sempel will give, pag"ol will beat.
He scattered fire, broke the pipe and threw it away. Denisov paused and suddenly looked cheerfully at Rostov with his sparkling black eyes.
- If only there were women. Otherwise, there’s nothing to do here, just like drinking. If only I could drink and drink.
- Hey, who's there? - he turned to the door, hearing the stopped steps of thick boots with the clanking of spurs and a respectful cough.
- Sergeant! - said Lavrushka.
Denisov wrinkled his face even more.
“Skveg,” he said, throwing away a wallet with several gold pieces. “G’ostov, count, my dear, how much is left there, and put the wallet under the pillow,” he said and went out to the sergeant.
Rostov took the money and, mechanically, putting aside and arranging old and new gold pieces in piles, began to count them.
- A! Telyanin! Zdog "ovo! They blew me away!" – Denisov’s voice was heard from another room.
- Who? At Bykov’s, at the rat’s?... I knew,” said another thin voice, and after that Lieutenant Telyanin, a small officer of the same squadron, entered the room.
Rostov threw his wallet under the pillow and shook the small, damp hand extended to him. Telyanin was transferred from the guard for something before the campaign. He behaved very well in the regiment; but they did not like him, and in particular Rostov could neither overcome nor hide his causeless disgust for this officer.
- Well, young cavalryman, how is my Grachik serving you? - he asked. (Grachik was a riding horse, a carriage, sold by Telyanin to Rostov.)
The lieutenant never looked into the eyes of the person he was talking to; his eyes constantly darted from one object to another.
- I saw you passed by today...
“It’s okay, he’s a good horse,” Rostov answered, despite the fact that this horse, which he bought for 700 rubles, was not worth even half of that price. “She started falling on the left front...,” he added. - The hoof is cracked! It's nothing. I will teach you and show you which rivet to use.
“Yes, please show me,” said Rostov.
“I’ll show you, I’ll show you, it’s not a secret.” And you will be grateful for the horse.
“So I’ll order the horse to be brought,” said Rostov, wanting to get rid of Telyanin, and went out to order the horse to be brought.
In the entryway, Denisov, holding a pipe, huddled on the threshold, sat in front of the sergeant, who was reporting something. Seeing Rostov, Denisov winced and, pointing over his shoulder with his thumb into the room in which Telyanin was sitting, winced and shook with disgust.
“Oh, I don’t like the fellow,” he said, not embarrassed by the sergeant’s presence.
Rostov shrugged his shoulders, as if saying: “Me too, but what can I do!” and, having given orders, returned to Telyanin.
Telyanin was still sitting in the same lazy position in which Rostov had left him, rubbing his small white hands.
“There are such nasty faces,” Rostov thought as he entered the room.
- Well, did they tell you to bring the horse? - Telyanin said, getting up and looking around casually.
- I ordered it.
- Let's go on our own. I just came in to ask Denisov about yesterday’s order. Got it, Denisov?
- Not yet. Where are you going?
“I want to teach a young man how to shoe a horse,” said Telyanin.
They went out onto the porch and into the stables. The lieutenant showed how to make a rivet and went home.
When Rostov returned, there was a bottle of vodka and sausage on the table. Denisov sat in front of the table and cracked his pen on paper. He looked gloomily into Rostov's face.
“I’m writing to her,” he said.
He leaned his elbows on the table with a pen in his hand, and, obviously delighted at the opportunity to quickly say in words everything he wanted to write, expressed his letter to Rostov.
“You see, dg,” he said. “We sleep until we love. We are children of pg’axa... and I fell in love - and you are God, you are pure, as on the pieties day of creation... Who else is this? Drive him to Chog’tu. There’s no time!” he shouted at Lavrushka, who, without any timidity, approached him.
- Who should be? They ordered it themselves. The sergeant came for the money.
Denisov frowned, wanted to shout something and fell silent.
“Skveg,” but that’s the point,” he said to himself. “How much money is left in the wallet?” he asked Rostov.
– Seven new and three old.
“Ah, skveg” but! Well, why are you standing there, stuffed animals, let’s go to the sergeant,” Denisov shouted at Lavrushka.
“Please, Denisov, take the money from me, because I have it,” Rostov said, blushing.
“I don’t like to borrow from my own people, I don’t like it,” Denisov grumbled.
“And if you don’t take the money from me in a friendly manner, you’ll offend me.” “Really, I have it,” Rostov repeated.
- No.
And Denisov went to the bed to take out his wallet from under the pillow.
- Where did you put it, Rostov?
- Under the bottom pillow.
- No, no.
Denisov threw both pillows onto the floor. There was no wallet.
- What a miracle!
- Wait, didn’t you drop it? - said Rostov, lifting the pillows one by one and shaking them out.
He threw off and shook off the blanket. There was no wallet.
- Have I forgotten? No, I also thought that you were definitely putting a treasure under your head,” said Rostov. - I put my wallet here. Where is he? – he turned to Lavrushka.
- I didn’t go in. Where they put it is where it should be.
- Not really…
– You’re just like that, throw it somewhere, and you’ll forget. Look in your pockets.
“No, if only I hadn’t thought about the treasure,” said Rostov, “otherwise I remember what I put in.”
Lavrushka rummaged through the entire bed, looked under it, under the table, rummaged through the entire room and stopped in the middle of the room. Denisov silently followed Lavrushka’s movements and, when Lavrushka threw up his hands in surprise, saying that he was nowhere, he looked back at Rostov.
- G "ostov, you are not a schoolboy...
Rostov felt Denisov’s gaze on him, raised his eyes and at the same moment lowered them. All his blood, which was trapped somewhere below his throat, poured into his face and eyes. He couldn't catch his breath.
