Marlene Dietrich was born on December 27, 1901, in Berlin. Her breakthrough as Lola Lola in Josef von Sternberg’s The Blue Angel led to a Hollywood career that included Morocco, Shanghai Express, Destry Rides Again and Witness for the Prosecution.
Dietrich became a United States citizen in 1939 and supported Allied troops during the Second World War through extensive performances. She also built a successful international concert career and became influential for a style that challenged conventional ideas about women’s clothing and screen identity.
The old page attributed her body shape to a controlling director and repeated detailed starvation menus, cigarette use and beauty techniques as recommendations. Those claims were removed. Dietrich died in Paris on May 6, 1992, at age 90.
