Actress Marlene Dietrich surrounded by soldiers of the U.S. Women’s Army Corps (WAC) in France.

“Glamour girls came and went, from Jean Harlow to Rita Hayworth, but Marlene Dietrich persisted. She became the idol of the highbrows and the idol of GI Joe. She became an obsession in the twisted mind of Adolf Hitler, a trusted friend of intellectuals like Jean Cocteau, Erich Remarque and Ernest Hemingway, a wartime pet of Army generals. Men seemed to pursue her in droves without developing any jealousy or ill feeling among themselves. Women admitted that their fondest wish was to be like her.”

This is my favourite picture of her, she looks so vulnerable and young, and yet she was already ravishingly beautiful. When this picture was taken, nobody could have predicted who she would become.

I’m easily discouraged. A shrug of the shoulders is enough to send me back into my shell. On the other hand, I defend my principles like a lioness, and I defend a friend, whether or not he’s in need. I’ve fought for my friends whenever I’ve felt they were being attacked, even when they themselves were utterly indifferent, even risking danger to myself, which didn’t matter at all to me, either then or now. I don’t think I’ll ever change.

Happy Birthday Marlene Dietrich | 27 December, 1901 - 6 May, 1992
