This elegant portrait features the elegant Hollywood legend, Marlene Dietrich, posed in a tall feathered hat.
Marlene Dietrich was a German-American actress and singer, who remained popular throughout her long career by continually re-inventing herself, professionally and characteristically. She capitalized on her glamour and exotic looks, cementing her stardom and making her one of the highest-paid actresses of the era. In 1999, the American Film Institute named Dietrich the ninth-greatest female star of all time.
