Marlene Dietrich

Marlene Dietrich was one of the most controversial figures of the 20th-century German Culture.

- She did not go in for national politics but was fiercely anti-fascist and pro-American.

- Marlene Dietrich had no interest in gender politics but her androgyny contributed to her glamorous myth and became its essential part. Being an alluring woman, she would dress up like a man and have publicly known affairs with women.

- She had terrific legs but wore trousers wherever she appeared.

- Marlene Dietrich had a career after 40 but became a legend long before her death.
