AMarie GermanMagdalene actress/singer"Marlene" bornDietrich in(27 December 1901 – 6 May 1992) was a German actress/singer. She started out in vaudeville and theater, then moved to silent films and her transition to sound coincided with the time she moved to America (1930); she became a U.S. citizen in 1939. An anti-Nazi, Dietrich performed for the American troops on the front lines of the European theater of [[World War II]]. Some Germans label her a traitor even today for having abandoned her country.
 
As an actress, she is known for her sultry, somewhat stoic style of acting. She also famously crossdressed in many of her roles, usually cabaret scenes.
 
As a singer, her cover of "Lili Marlene" is usually considered to be the definitive English-language version.
 
Dietrich was very secretive of her private life, although she was openly [[Bi the Way|bisexual]]. Her list of conquests is truly staggering<ref>despite having been married once and for about 50 years</ref>, although it should be taken with a grain of salt, especially because a lot of those claims come from her rather jaded daughter, Maria Riva.

=== She fits the following tropes: ===
* [[Bifauxnen]]/[[Wholesome Crossdresser]]
* [[Fake Nationality]]: French in ''Morocco'', Austrian in ''Dishonored'', Spanish in ''The Devil Is A Woman'', Russian in ''The Scarlet Empress''. Then again, she did this way too many times to be listed.
