In 1936, Travis Banton, head designer at Paramount Studios, created the iconic “Fabergé” gown for Marlene Dietrich's role in the film 𝑨𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒍. This extravagant dress featured gold embroidery, pearls, rhinestones, and faux jewels. It was one of the most expensive and spectacular gowns ever made, costing $8,000 at the time (around $100,000 today).   The gown was reused in a number of films, appearing with the sleeves removed and an added stole, on Felicia Atkins as Serina in the 1961 film 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑬𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑩𝒐𝒚.   In 1963 the stole was cut in half to be used as a turban and worn with the sleeveless altered bodice by a model in 1963's 𝑨 𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆.   After many years of use, the gown was purchased at auction in 1990 by Larry McQueen of The Collection of Motion Picture Costume Design. The gown’s intricate beadwork and delicate fabric required painstaking work to restore it to its original splendor. McQueen’s dedication to the restoration of this masterpiece ensured that it would be preserved for future generations to appreciate.   This dress has so much more information! Far too much for me to post here on social media. To learn more please visit one of the below sites:

Comparto con vosotros mi último single, una traducción al castellano del tema "Where have all the flowers gone" de Pete Seeger, que fue cantado por Marlene Dietrich en alemán en los años 60.
Os pego aquí más información, para quién la quiera:
"Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" es una canción folk escrita por el cantautor estadounidense Pete Seeger en 1955. Inspirada líricamente en la canción popular tradicional cosaca "Koloda-Duda", Seeger tomó prestada una melodía irlandesa para la música,[1] y publicó los tres primeros versos en la revista Sing Out![2] Joe Hickerson añadió versos adicionales en mayo de 1960, convirtiéndola en una canción circular[3] Su retórico "¿dónde?" y su meditación sobre la muerte sitúan la canción en la tradición ubi sunt[4] En 2010, el New Statesman la incluyó en la lista de las "20 mejores canciones políticas"[5].
Seeger encontró la inspiración para la canción en octubre de 1955, cuando estaba en un avión con destino a un concierto en el Oberlin College, uno de los pocos lugares que le contratarían durante la era McCarthy[6]. Hojeando su cuaderno, vio el pasaje: "Dónde están las flores, las chicas las han arrancado. Dónde están las chicas, todas han tomado maridos. Dónde están los hombres, todos están en el ejército"[7] Estas líneas fueron tomadas de la canción popular cosaca tradicional "Koloda-Duda" (ucraniano: Колода-дуда), a la que se hace referencia en la novela de Mijaíl Sholojov “Y tranquilo fluye el Don” (1934), que Seeger había leído "al menos un año o dos antes". En una entrevista de 2013, Seeger explicó que tomó prestada la melodía de una canción irlandesa de leñadores con la letra "Johnson dice que cargará más heno". Simplemente ralentizó la melodía y le incorporó los versos.
Marlene Dietrich interpretó la canción en inglés, francés y alemán. La canción fue interpretada por primera vez en francés (como "Qui peut dire où vont les fleurs?") por Dietrich en 1962 en un concierto de UNICEF. También grabó la canción en inglés y en alemán, esta última titulada "Sag mir, wo die Blumen sind", con letra traducida por Max Colpet. Interpretó la versión alemana en una gira por Israel, donde fue muy bien recibida; fue la primera artista que rompió el tabú de utilizar públicamente el alemán en Israel desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial[8][18] Su versión alcanzó el número 20 en las listas alemanas[19].

I don’t know why I’m drawn to images from the past but it connects me to something beyond the fashions and attitudes of today. Today’s entry in this vein is of a young Marlene Dietrich with her then director Joseph von Sternberg.

Marie Magdalene "Marlene" Dietrich (27 Dec 1901 – 6 May 1992) was a German & American actress and singer whose career spanned from the 1910s to the 1980s.
In 1920s Berlin, Dietrich performed on the stage and in silent films. Her performance as Lola-Lola in Josef von Sternberg's The Blue Angel (1930) brought her international acclaim and a contract with Paramount Pictures. She starred in many Hollywood films, including six iconic roles directed by Sternberg: Morocco (1930) (her only Academy Award nomination), Dishonored (1931), Shanghai Express and Blonde Venus (both 1932), The Scarlet Empress (1934) and The Devil Is a Woman (1935), Desire (1936) and Destry Rides Again (1939). She successfully traded on her glamorous persona and exotic looks, and became one of the era's highest-paid actresses.
Dietrich was known for her humanitarian efforts during World War II, housing German and French exiles, providing financial support and even advocating their American citizenship. For her work on improving morale on the front lines during the war, she received several honors from the United States, France, Belgium and Israel. In 1999, the American Film Institute named Dietrich the ninth greatest female screen legend of classic Hollywood cinema. via Wikipedia
