    I was trained by a French Master Hair Colourist who worked with Dietrich. He was 75 in 1984 when I trained under him. We worked side by side for 8 years. His name was Pierre Tessier. He never once told how to do hair. He allowed me to observe and assist. Always said that we can steal with our eyes. I never asked questions. He was that good. Taught me cotton highlights which no one does anymore. Cannot get highlights closer to the scalp. I have that knowledge. It ends with me. His tutelage.
    Anyway, he told me that when working with her in Paris that they sprinkled gold “dust” into her hair . At the end of a day she would turn her hair over and finger brush flecks onto black silk. Apparently it was easier to see under the lights. They reused it day after day. Scandalously she actually stitched her own face behind her hairline at the temples only at that time.This was before the rubber bands.
    I wish he had left a memoir. He started as a wig maker for the Garnier Opera in Paris as a wig maker. I believe he was born in Aix au Province around 1909.

      That is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing that. I also did an apprenticeship although mine does not sound as fabulous as yours was. I absolutely loved reading about yours, the products and techniques were so different back in the day and it was the absolute best. I wish they would bring it all of it back but sadly it is a lost art and the products can be duplicated but no one sees the value in that. I for one love all of the protein (animal based) and amino acids in the conditioners and face creams. It would not fly today but they truly worked. Sadly most everything has plant based protein and cheap emollients like dimethicone in their formulations. Your post gave me the butterflies that I used to get when I started in the beauty industry years and years ago that I haven't felt for quite some time. It was lovely....

    I think I read in her daughter's book that to make her body look "snatched" she had a full length nude body suit that basically "sucked" in everything. It was long sleeved, came up almost to her neck, and ended at her ankles. Although she kept in reasonable shape and was seriously disciplined about her diet, this supposedly kept things from "wobbling."

      She also says in this book that Marlene literally pinned her skin back behind her ears, under her hair. As she got older, she did this more and more to the point of bleeding. She never had surgery, but she should’ve considering the enormous pain she must’ve been in.
      Add to this, the dresses she wore in her performance in her later years was around 60lbs due to the make of the dress. Ms. Dietrich was a damn masochist.

    Under her stage dresses she wore flesh coloured Spandex neck to ankle and sometimes flesh coloured latex again neck to toe. The latex pulled her body in where she wanted it to. So it acted as a full body corset! She loved using a spotlight with a lavender gel for her theatre tours as it was the most flattering. Dita Von Teese has adopted the use of the lavender light for her shows. Pete Burns from Dead Or Alive used to watch his mother apply her makeup and she used to do the carbon tip for her crease. She was German and some of her family worked at Babelsberg studios and there's a photo of her with Marlene.

      Fun fact: The use of lavender to set off the warm toned light dates back even further: Virginie Gautreau, best known from the painting "Madame X" done by John Singer used this trick to make her skin look radient in evening outings. Her using the lavender powder and Singer using a different light for the modelling, making her incredibly pale-looking in the process, was part of the scandal that the painting caused.

    I used to know a fabulous bartender in a very upscale bar, she was friend of friends. This is decades ago now, She claimed to have known the makeup artist (not sure which one but I think Wally Westmore). I recall distinctly as it was told to me because it was so shockingly extreme. This is how it was done: the tiny plaits were made and then pulled back and embedded in the scalp with surgical needles, Can you imagine how horrifically painful that must have been. Apparently she spent a lot of time with medical alcohol so the wounds did not become infected. After the prelim hair work was done, the makeup artist started by gluing a very fine, tissue like layer of silk over her face before starting work. I mean, I believe it. The lengths she went to for her appearance were incredible. By her Las Vegas era it was ALL artifice. In your defense I believe she must have had a facelift. There's only so much you can pull manually. Joan Crawford had a facelift and boob job in the 1950s and Vanity Fair reports that Edith Head had several, up to ten by the end of her days! So more commonplace back then than one would think. It seems apparent that Marlene had rhinoplasty work as in the early days she had quite a thick bulbous nose and again there's only so much you can do with contour and lighting. Of course this is technically third hand information but I don't think it's that far fetched?

I think others have had more. Vanity Fair is a fairly reliable source, I mean their reportage was considered top quality. Don't know about now but then it was held to a pretty high standard so I don't think they just pulled that bon mot out of nowhere. But yeah it sounds like somewhat of an exaggeration, I think. Just not probably realistic.

    Absolutely LOVED this! Such a great video! And it couldn't have come at a more perfect times since I just finished reading her book. I'm talking 789 pages of it, written by her daughter FILLED with anything and everything and some things you didn't know to know about this fascinating woman and honestly I was obsessed! A couple of things your mentioned that I learned the truth about from the book. 1. Gold in her hair. - This was actually NOT true. It was created by the publicity department due to a rumour that was going around. I think it actually was an article in a paper. Marlene loved this story and never denied it letting the false claim run free. The glow of her hair was actually very specific lighting created by the great Josef von Sternberg (the director and collaborator of her early films..and lover too!) Her hair was very thin and she felt lifeless and his lighting made her hair appear thicker and glossier. The man was a lighting genius. 2. Her fabulous body later in life - This was due to a product she designed that was kinda like the first spanx. Talk about snatched! She called it her "foundation" and apparently it was super painful and took an incredible amount of effort to get in to but Marlene was a BOSS! Lol. It completely molded her figure, and was seamless under her dresses (she camouflaged it by wearing bold necklaces so it would cover the seam that went just below her neck) It shaped everything, particularly her breasts that she always was self conscious about because to her they hung very low. This and her hands were one of her biggest complaints about her body. And speaking of her body she was bulimic and sometimes ate nothing (to very little) when she was working on a film. A couple of other things I found fascinating about her beauty regime. 1. She always made up standing up - she would never sit down when preparing for her shows 2. You are correct about the lashes. Her daughter was in charge of them and did the cutting of them 3. She created her own eyebrow look for ..I think it was "Devil was a woman". She felt something wasn't right in the makeup tests and it bothered her for days then inspiration struck she went to town on them 3. She collaborated with the costume department in all her films coming up with gown designs, she knew exactly how the neck line, hats and scarves would frame her face to give it the shape she wanted. I could go on. She was ahead of her time!
