Marlene Dietrich brought something very special to every role she played - talent it's what they call it - loved her in "Judgment at Nuremberg" - infact, everyone came to the party with their acting chops, She stopped the show when on screen. Something . .

Dietrich was one of the major glamour goddesses of the 1930s and 1940s and had a long career in films, spanning 1923 to 1964 (with another appearance in 1978). She was Oscar nominated as Best Actress for "Morocco" (1930). She was eventually approached by representatives of the Nazi Party to return to Germany, but turned them down flat and worked on behalf of the US during World War II, entertaining American troops, etc. Marlene began her career in her native Germany during the silent era and had a breakthrough role with her first sound film in "The Blue Angel" (1930), which brought her to Hollywood. She worked exclusively with director Josef von Sternberg during the early '30s. Some of her other films included: "Shanghai Express" (32), "Blonde Venus" (32), "The Song Of Songs" (33), "The Scarlet Empress" (34), "The Devil Is A Woman" (35), "Desire" (36), "Destry Rides Again" (39), "Seven Sinners" (40), "The Flame Of New Orleans" (41), "The Spoilers" (42), "Kismet" (44), "A Foreign Affair" (48), "Stage Fright" (50), "Rancho Notorious" (52), "Witness For The Prosecution" (57), "Touch Of Evil" (58), "Judgment At Nuremberg" (61), "Paris When It Sizzles" (64 - cameo) and "Just A Gigolo" (78). Her voice was used for the film "Marlene" (84). Dietrich passed in 1992 at age 90.

Someone said, Every true beauty has a touch of strangeness to it. A true beauty.

Dietrich (1991-1992) was a German-American film actress whose beauty, voice, aura of sophistication, and languid sensuality made her one of the world’s most glamorous film stars.

Marry

Director Josef von Sternberg first laid eyes on Dietrich and cast her as Lola-Lola, the sultry and world-weary female lead in Der blaue Engel (1930; The Blue Angel), Germany’s first talking film. The film’s success catapulted Dietrich to stardom. Von Sternberg took her to the United States and signed her with Paramount Pictures. With von Sternberg’s help, Dietrich began to develop her legend by cultivating a femme fatale film persona in several von Sternberg vehicles that followed—Morocco (1930), Dishonored (1931), Shanghai Express (1932), Blonde Venus (1932), The Scarlet Empress (1934), and The Devil Is a Woman (1935). She showed a lighter side in Desire (1936) and Destry Rides Again (1939).

Marry

During the Third Reich and despite Adolf Hitler’s personal requests, Dietrich refused to work in Germany, and her films were temporarily banned there. Renouncing Nazism (“Hitler is an idiot,” she stated in one wartime interview), Dietrich was branded a traitor in Germany.

Marry

Born Mary Magdalene Dietrich on December 27th, 1901, in Schoneberg, Berlin, Germany. She started out in the cabaret scene in Germany in the 1920s as a singer. She married Rudolf Sieber and remained married to him until his death in 1976. They were legally married for 52 years but only lived together for five years.

Jack

In 1929, she was seen on stage in the cabaret by Josef von Sternberg. He gave her a screen test and cast her in the 1930 film The Blue Angels as a cabaret singer. The film was a success, and, in 1930, Josef took her to America, where she became known to Hollywood and the rest of the world through the movie Morocco.

Andrew

She was an international success and became the highest paid actress of her time. She became an American citizen in 1939, and throughout WWII, she was a high-profile frontline entertainer. She is credited with 56 actress roles and 67 soundtrack parts.
