Welcome to Marlene Dietrich: The Last Goddess

The first rule of Marlene Dietrich: The Last Goddess is you do not talk about Marlene Dietrich: The Last Goddess. The second rule of Marlene Dietrich: The Last Goddess is you do not talk about Marlene Dietrich: The Last Goddess!

IMDB, get your act together!

In other news, check out some Dietrich-inspired photos by Mexican photographer Ivan Aguirre of model Sofia Monaco here. Nice work, but why the ghastly Desire-era eyebrows? Her chola name must be La German.

Don't forget to pick up Shirley MacLaine's latest memoirs, I'm Over All That: And Other Confessions, too. You can read an excerpt here, in which MacLaine credits Dietrich for teaching her the art of lighting and costume fittings during the production of Around the World in 80 Days. Want your audience to think there's a draft onstage? Strategically affix two pearls on your bra. MacLaine also praises the Dietrich facelift and divulges that Mike Todd left Dietrich for Elizabeth Taylor (R.I.P.). Scroll through this page to see a photo of Dietrich with Mike Todd at the Los Angeles premiere of Oklahoma!
