玛琳·黛德丽玛琳·黛德丽，1901年12月27日出生在柏林郊外的一个小镇。她是家里最小的女儿。父亲是一名皇家警察中尉。父亲的地位让玛琳和她的姐姐度过了一个舒适的童年。
 
1911年，玛琳的父亲去世了，撇下母亲独自扶养两个女儿。父亲的去世给玛琳留下一个长久的阴影。
 
玛琳的童年嗜好是音乐。她喜爱演奏小提琴，并且梦想成为柏林爱乐乐团的职业小提琴手。但后来她的手受了伤，童年梦想也成为泡影。
 
上个世纪20年代的柏林是一个充满性解放意识的城市。夜晚的酒店夜总会和剧院里充满了这种放纵的气氛。
 
19岁太年轻，太容易受影响，玛琳决心要在醉人的柏林夜总会出人头地。玛琳漂亮、讨人喜欢。她在酒店夜总会里跳舞，并兼职做歌手，很快就过上比较不错的生活。但她想要真正取得成功，还需要别人的帮助。 暗示性的歌词和的玛琳的男装打扮很快使她的性倾向变得暧昧起来。
 
尽管有很多关于她的谣传，但在1923年，她遇到了电影制片助理卢狄·萨伯,并且嫁给了他。那时候她21岁。一年后他们有了女儿玛丽娅。
 
玛琳·黛德丽，德国女演员，二战中积极参与同盟国劳军活动。从小学习小提琴，并希望以此为终身职业，后因手腕受伤转向演艺界。20世纪20年代中期，演艺事业开始走红，1930年《蓝天使》大获成功，成为国际知名的影星。同年跟派拉蒙签约，并在由斯登堡导演的多部影片中出任主角，与葛丽泰·嘉宝分庭抗礼，一度成为片酬最高的明星。
 
战后演艺事业开始走下坡，又做回cabaret singer（歌厅歌手），到处巡回演出，甚至推出了一首畅销歌曲《花儿到哪儿去了》。其形象代表着高雅和性感的完美结合，因嗜好男性服装，曾引发时尚潮流，至今仍有人（如麦当娜）模仿，开创一种性别模糊的美。最后的岁月跟当年的对手嘉宝一样隐居，连接受纪录片采访也规定不准摄像，只准录音。
 
The most exotic actress of the 1930s and '40s, Marlene Dietrich performed her cabaret act around the world and recorded for Decca, Columbia and Capitol in the post-war period, after her film career had slowed. A thick German accent and her odd sung-spoken vocal style proved no barrier to international popular success and adoration. Born near Berlin in 1901, she began studying acting as a teenager, and auditioned with director Max Reinhardt several times before entering his drama school. She worked in the German theater and film world during the 1920s, gradually assuming star status until her international breakout at the end of the decade, when she appeared in The Blue Angel, directed by American Josef von Sternberg.
 
The film's success led directly to Hollywood, where she became one of the major female stars of the 1930s, in such films as Song of Songs, The Scarlet Empress, Knight Without Armour and Destry Rides Again. Because of her German heritage, the newly American citizen made a large mark in the war effort, performing the favorite &Lilli Marlene& on USO tours and recording anti-Nazi propaganda in German. She was awarded the Medal of Freedom and Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor after war's end. She had recorded music in Germany as early as the late '20s, but Dietrich returned again to the vocal industry in the '50s, first with Decca and then a long-standing contract with Columbia. The label released many live albums, preserving her wild cabaret act from various European capitals (several of them recorded with a young Burt Bacharach serving as musical director).
 
After her Columbia contract expired, Marlene Dietrich began to record with Capitol in the mid-'60s but retired a decade later, returning only for two roles -- one in the 1979 film Just a Gigolo with David Bowie, the other a 1984 ary name Marlene, with her recorded interviews but no glimpse of the present-day Dietrich. Just after her death in 1992, a new musical opened based on her life, titled Sag Mir Wo Die Blumen Sind (&Where Have All the Flowers Gone?&).
