*1 Life  ==[Life  edit ] == ===[Youth  edit ] === On December 27, 1901 Marie Magdalene Dietrich was born to the Prussian officer Louis Erich Otto Dietrich and Elisabeth Josephine Felsing, heiress of a wealthy watchmaker family. She has long tried to keep the idea that she was born in 1904. Her first name "Marlene" she creates as a child from her two first names. She would later use as a stage name by which the world would appeal to her. The derivation also shows that the commonly used pronunciation of this name, Marlene, is incorrect. After an authoritarian upbringing she married on May 27, 1923 by Rudolf 'Rudi Sieber with whom they have one daughter, Maria Elizabeth Sieber had. ===[Career  edit ] === She got fame with her ​​role as a revue singer Lola in the film Blue Angel, especially with the song Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß auf Liebe eingestellt. This film by Josef von Sternberg in 1930 is now seen as one of the most timeless films ever made.
