Actress and singer Marlene Dietrich was born
in 1901, in Berlin (Germany). Her real name was Marie Magdalene Dietrich von
Losch. When she was a girl liked to call herself "Paul", allowing
already to make her sexual duality out. Her father was a police officer
of the Prussian aristocracy. Submitted to a strict education, from very small
she
demonstrated her aptitude for the music and the singing. At the age of 16 she
made debut as violinist dressed in male. She studied in the school of theater of
Max Reinhardt. At the age of 23 she married an assistant of share-out, Rudolf
Sieber, of which she never got divorced and with the one that had a girl
so-called Maria (nicknamed Heidede). In the 20s she worked
as actress of theater and in the mute movies. Her role in the movie "The blue
angel", to the orders of the director Josef von Sternberg, captivated the
spectators, and from this affiliation between actress and the director arose
seven more movies, between them "Morocco", "Fair-haired venus" and "The
devil is a woman". Marlene turned into an erotic myth. Other famous movies were
"Desire" and "Arizona". In 1939 she was naturalized American by
her rejection to the Nazism and she acted in multiple occasions for the American troops during the
Second World War. After the war she did the movies "Cargo witness", "Winners or conquered? " and "Gigolo".
To the beginning of her career, a partner of share-out, Claire Waldoff,
initiated Dietrich in the lesbianism. In 1925 she met Greta Garbo during the
playing of a mute movie, and both initiated a lesbian relation. Dietrich was
recognizing her bisexuality without mufflers and she supported relation with
several women, between them singer
Edith Piaf and the scriptwriter
Mercedes de Acosta.
In 1938 she received an impressive offer of Adolf Hitler but Dietrich
pushed it back and she even sang in numerous occasions for the American Army
making her antiNazism clear. At the end of 1939 she supported a romance with Jean
Gabin. Her last movie was a "Gigolo", in 1978. She died in 1992, in Paris,
officially of a cardiac failure (autopsy was not realized). According to
Norm Bosquet, her confidant and secretariat, Marlene Dietrich committed suicide
with sleeping pills to avoid to be deposited in an elders' residence. Her grave
has been profaned several times by Nazi groups who do not excuse her the support
to the North Americans during the Second World War.
