Marlene Dietrich

Japanese: ディートリヒ - でぃーとりひ(英語表記)Marlene Dietrich
Marlene Dietrich

American actress and singer. Born to a middle-class aristocratic family in Berlin, she studied theater and music, and began appearing in films and on stage in 1923. In 1930, she was selected to play the role of Lola in the German film "The Blue Angel" directed by Hollywood director Sternberg, and entered the American film industry that same year. By 1935, she had starred in six films with director Sternberg: "Morocco," "The Spy," "Shanghai Express," "Blonde Venus," "The Pageant of Love," and "Spain Rhapsody." She created an era with her decadent beauty, such as "Million Dollar Legs," and was often compared to G. Garbo. She hated the Nazis, so she became a naturalized American citizen in 1939, and during World War II, she was active in entertaining soldiers on the European front lines. With her signature songs including "Lili Marleen," she also became active as an entertainer from 1953 onwards, and first visited Japan for the Osaka World Exposition in 1970. Her other film appearances include "Desert Garden" (1936), "Knight Without Armour" (1937), "Mad Love" (1946) and "Mistress" (1958).
