EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of Marlene Dietrich, captured in 1929, showcases the German-born actress and singer at the height of her glamour and allure during the Jazz Age in Paris. Dietrich, born on December 27, 1901, was a trailblazing figure in both the silent film and cinema worlds, known for her bold and defiant persona that challenged societal norms of the 1920s. In this image, Dietrich exudes an air of sophistication and mystery, with her piercing gaze and enigmatic smile. Her chic bob hairstyle, smoky eyes, and elegant neckline accentuate her striking features and timeless beauty. The backdrop of the photograph, adorned with the title "Plaisirs," adds an element of intrigue and alludes to the pleasurable experiences and sensations of the Roaring Twenties. Dietrich's career began in Germany, where she appeared in several silent films before making the move to Hollywood in the late 1920s. Her performances in films such as "The Blue Angel" and "Morocco" solidified her status as a Hollywood icon and sex symbol. Her unique style, which often included wearing men's suits and smoking on stage, defied gender norms and paved the way for future generations of bold and unconventional performers. This portrait is a testament to Dietrich's enduring legacy and her impact on the cultural landscape of the 1920s. It serves as a reminder of a bygone era, when jazz music reigned supreme, and the spirit of rebellion and self-expression was at its peak.
