Favorite Marlene Dietrich Quotes


-In America sex is an obsession, in other parts of the world it is a fact.

-It’s the friends you can call up at four a.m. that matter.

-Darling, the legs aren't so beautiful, I just know what to do with them.

-I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men.

All these places in Potsdamer Platz in Berlin are named after her - truly the epitomy of glamorous "old hollywood"

Old Hollywood always knew how to make smoking look so damn glamourous. I didn't know there was a thread on Marlene I'm so glad there is! I was watching an alfred hitchcock movie of hers the other day and she sings this one song that has such silly lyrics it made me laugh "It's not cause I wouldn't, It's not cause I shouldn't, and you know it's not cause I couldn't, it's simply because I'm the laziest girl in town" lol Thanx for the pics everyone!

Sorry, I forgot to say that the sites are sourced in the file name (and my favorite picture is from my personal collection, but I think it was from eBay originally).

Gwyneth Paltrow!!!!?!!! wtf?!? excuse my language, but that is a crime. how can Paltrow's droopy, sleepy, personality devoid eyes (as well as the rest of her) capture the unique power of Dietrich?
