Marlene Dietrich
It was a delight to read that the legendary German-born Hollywood actress Marlene Dietrich's life will be made into a feature film, starring Gyneth Paltrow (D.S. 29/5/004)
Marlene Dietrich was well-known for her husky voice, acting prowess and, above all, for her beautiful long legs.
Marlene's leggy rivals were Rita Hayworth (who married and later divorced Aly Khan) and Betty Grable Twenthiet, the last century's actress-cum super danseuse. In those days, Betty's legs were insured for one million dollars by her famous studio!
