She was called the "Steel Orchid" ... why is her name associated with sophistication and sexuality? A short excursion into the biography of the great Marlene Dietrich - actress and singer, will help to understand this.
Maria Magdalena Dietrich was born in Germany in 1901, in December, on the 27th. There was nothing remarkable in the girl: an ordinary appearance, a low voice, no grace in the figure. But there was a great passion: music and cinema. Her idols for a long time were the film actress Hanni Porten and the French-teacher Mademoiselle Bregan. Love to France and the cinema will remain with her until the end of life.
Actress Marlene Dietrich
Marlene played the violin a lot, which once led her to the orchestra of the local cinema. She was the only woman in the orchestra, which could not but affect the "attentiveness" of the musicians - they stared at the girl, and soon she was fired. But the repertoire of the cinema by Maria Magdalena was studied well.
Beautiful legs, which were so perplexed by musicians, began to "earn" in advertising pantyhose. In 1922, the future actress shortens her name to a sonorous "Marlene" and enters the school of acting.
Debut Marlene Dietrich in the film "Little Napoleon" was held very soon. Next was marriage. Her husband Rudolf Sieber worked as an assistant director. Despite the fact that Marlene had given him a daughter, their relationship was rather strange: she did not live with him, did not get divorced, but kept him, and his mistresses, for the rest of the day.
Marlene acted in film, but had little success until she was noticed by the director Joseph von Sternberg. She was invited to the role in the film "Blue Angel". It was a triumph! Thus appeared the insidious and seductive Marlene Dietrich, making the viewer die in an incomprehensible excitement. After the premiere, the actress leaves Berlin. Her stubborn ascent to Hollywood Olympus begins.
Style Marlene Dietrich
A fatal woman, and in the future - an icon of style, did not appear immediately. Over the image of Marlene worked designers, hairdressers and stylists. She furious with the public, appearing once in a man's suit. Trousers Marlene Dietrich is not only a new style, it is an explosion of emancipation! Now, to the wide classic men's trousers, the expression "trousers in the style of Marlene Dietrich" is often applicable.
Makeup in the style of Marlene Dietrich
To stay in the image of a great actress will help simple make-up: an ideal and light tone of the face, a thin thread of eyebrows, languid look from under thick eyelashes with podkovke on the edge, red lipstick.
So much time has passed, but the image of Marlene Dietrich still evokes the same associative series: refinement, eroticism (on the verge of debauchery), glamor and unisex.
