Marlene Dietrich had also left a mark on music as well as film. Freddie Mercury, the openly bisexual frontman of the band Queen, was so fond of Dietrich’s films that he even based the cover art for Queen II on a famous photograph of her he kept in his house in London.
It was Made For Me more! (background voice): No! For ME more (etc..)😀. Clearly made for me - Stevie patreon supporter and she appears; I'm bi so Marlene story is totally fascinating and awesome; while watching I discover my wife's also huge fan of Ms.Diet(might that be her rapper name nowadays?) and studied her. So we watched on big lounge TV together as she added notes and learnt one or two new things. Thanks for opportunity for that experience, Jessica.
UUUHMMMM actually.... Marlene and her husband had a very loving relationship and felt deep appreciation for each other. They were supporting each other's love lives and were great confidantes in heart ship too. Rudolf Sieber answer if would ask why Marlene is not settling down at the ranch with him (and his lover): “Why should she retire? She keeps getting better all the time. I went to Las Vegas twice to see her show at the Sahara and was as proud of her as I was 35 years ago, when she was just beginning. Now she’s appearing in Paris again, and how they love her there! Am I still in love with her? More than ever.” before her death, in her oldest age, she called him her best friend. I think the relationship went so much deeper and had such a mutual understanding in free love in the time they lived in. Only calling it a "cover up" would be selling it too short :) I love her so much! thanks for making this wonderful video
Fabulous as always. Looking at Marlene's war effort, I can't help thinking "SHE's the model for Captain America in Marvel's CA First Avenger" only with more flair.
Amazing video again ^^ Might I just add tho, a story about that kiss in Morocco. She knew there was a really big chance of her kiss being cut out of the film. Hence, she took a flower from the woman and gave it to Gary Cooper. That way, there would be continuity problems had they cut the scene :)
As a German I highly approve of this video. Started liking her as a child and she was just such a beautiful human being on both the inside and outside.
I am old and gay and neurodivergent with likely some other learning disabilities. Love ❤ watching you because the way you talk, style yourself glamor etc. You are life affirming. Congratulations on your life!
hold your seats, cause we are bringing some nazis in! -- almost spit my drink! You're hilarious. Greetings from Germany! PS. Girl, that lesson at the end about normalizing medical equipment. you got me there!
GLADYS BENTLEY is someone I'd love to see an episode about!! She has such an interesting story, set mainly during the Queer Harlem Renaissance. Not to mention she wore one of the most iconic suits of all time, sang like nothing you've heard before or since, and still has yet to get the widespread historical respect that she deserves.
The disability police are insufferable! Some days I need a cane, some days I can go for a mild hike, mind your effing business ya twats. Sending love and support your way.
@@toadlove98 also on days when I've got my cane someone will see me going up stairs instead of going the long way round to the crazy long ramp and ask "should you be doing that with a cane?" I'm sure some people ask from a kind place of concern, but I'm certain others ask because they are doubting my need for the cane. As if they know my condition better than me, silly disability police, I'm using my cane today because I knew I would have to go up stairs and this will allow me to do that independently. If I didn't have my cane I would actually need a lift because even ramps can be too difficult (foot drop and thigh weakness + arthritis in the knees, it's a good combination)
I feel so at home watching your videos with all the historical and queer content. I'm loving this episodes with historical figures such as Anne Lister, Queen Anne and now Dietrich. (The one about Mary Stuart was great too!) It would be great to have a Greta Garbo video, but I was about to suggest a Joan Crawford one too. I was dying to see you make a reference about her when you showed "The Sewing Circle" book cover (in which she is included) and couldn't stop laughing when you mentioned the "Mommie Queerest" reference. I know Crawford it's a controversial figure, but I think her story and possible Queerness would make a lovely video. Thanks for keep posting and have a beautiful day. ♥
Speaking of history: I read of a school in the United States that decided to add LGBT historical figures to their curriculum starting with the third-graders and the parents went nuts and started yanking their kids out of school! I had to unfriend one of my cousins for her disgusting homophobia!
I love the video!! But sidenote: Billy Wilder is not from Australia but from Austria, which is in central Europe (between Germany and Italy), like Mozart, and also me;)
I'm in love with this video. I've loved Marlene Dietrich ever since I took a trip to Berlin with my school. While on the trip we had an amazing guide called Alexander, he showed us the place that Marlene performed at frequently. While explaining the life of Marlene and how she was known for her sexual adventures, he then took out a small bottle of liquid and telling us how a small perfumery in Berlin had a copy of her personalized perfume. Of course everyone had a sniff. Just to inform you that it smelled like liquorice, Parma violets and mint 😊
The sound of your voice is so soothing. I love playing your videos on high pain days when getting around is hard and it's like having an old friend over. Thank you
Okay but the fact that the neck brace is in SUCH A LOVELY COLOR??? I'm so glad medical devices are starting to come in something other than cat-puke beige.
I learnt about her briefly in my GCSE History which was pretty cool. My teacher showed us her in like a suit and top-hat and whatever to show the shift in cultural norms especially on screen in Germany in the '20s
Best. Video. EVER. Tallulah definitely deserves her own video, and I ordered both of the books you mentioned before the video was over. 😅 Thank you for the recommendations!! You might like "Women and Disability in Medieval Literature" by Tory Vanderventer Pearman
Oooh, I love Marlene 😍 She was the reason I fell in love with Classic Hollywood, especially Women's Movies. I didn't know about the Confidential article though. I was reading about how it's 'expose' damaged Lizabeth Scott's career last night, now I wonder if it was down to her reaction of suing rather than the gossip... Thanks for this video, it's fabulous💖 Please do more from the Golden Age of Hollywood xx
When I was about 9 or 10 years old my grandma took me to see a play about Marlene's life and it Changed me forever - seeing [the actress portraying] her swinging on a swingset whilst singing to the American troops Moved something deep within me and made me feel things I'd never felt before, that little girl completely fell in love with the essence and the idea of that Vision of a woman and has not recovered since. My first celebrity crush
As Jessica seems someone who would be very much against violence, I think that instead you'd have to style them in a vintage flurry until they see the light. 😁
I would love if you could profile Vincent Price. His daughter wrote that he was bisexual, but its not well known about him. Thank you for all these lovely historical videos, I love them!
Yes, and his wife, Coral Browne (who played the predatory lesbian "Mercy Croft" in the infamous film "The Killing of Sister George"), was rumored to be bi also.
I do not know how the mighty algorithm finally figured it out, but I am regardless grateful for its wisdom in steering me to this channel! I adore everything I see here, even things not identical to me and my beliefs, because if the beauty, sincerity, and humanity of the presentation. WOW. If you and your wife are ever in Spokane, WA, USA then you must stop by my place for a visit and a meal. You are both lovely people, and this world is a better place because you are in it!
Oh my gosh this was amazing! I was thrilled to see u recognizing Marlene☺️ so many petiole omit her from the old Hollywood inspirations and stories, it’s nice to see her being shared again💕
I happened to already know about Marlene because last year a girl in my German class gave a presentation about her. This was basically confirmation that my classmate was gay, and this realization turned into me having a fatass crush on her oop.
Dietrich lives on as one of the greatest icons of the 20th century. Even though she wasn't considered a good actress in her day, she managed to become Hollywood's highest paid star in the 1930s. After her war work entertaining GIs around the globe, she returned to Hollywood, and, in the early 1950s, became a big U.S. radio star with her own shows. In 1953, she started performing in her one-woman show in Las Vegas, and again, she was the world's most highly paid woman among singers. She continued acting in movies, now recognized as a character actress in Hollywood films such as "Witness for the Prosecution," "Touch of Evil," and "Judgment at Nuremberg." She won a Tony Award for the "most successful single engagement of the 1967/68 season" on Broadway. She continued her stage shows until 1975 (for her last U.S. tour in 1975, she got rave reviews), and she made her last movie in 1978. She's remembered not only as one of Hollywood's greatest stars (she was among the top 10 in American Movie Classic's List of the Greatest Stars in Hollywood in 1999), but also a fierce anti-Nazi, a fashion icon, a symbol of justice and glamor. Probably one of the greatest stars ever.
I just wanted to say thank you, for not only this video but everything you do. I have been struggling with my identity for a while now and was initially very afraid of coming out as bisexual. I thought eventually I would discover that I was either straight or a lesbian, and I know, this is a toxic way of thinking. Your inclusion of bisexual women when talking about gay issues and topics, in general, has made a huge impact on my life. I have looked up to you for years and this video made me so happy :) What I mean to say is simply Thank You
My husband and I only recently discovered your channel and we are enthralled and fascinated by your videos. We love your personal style and the professionalism you put into them. Keep being fabulous! 💜
The way you insert "LOOK AT MY WIFE, SHE IS THE BEST AND MOST WONDERFUL" into your videos always delights me and warms the cockles of my weary heart :P
I cannot tell you the joy of the notification that appeared on my phone ["The Bisexual Anti-Fascist"] gave me today. Also. PLEASE do the Garbo video next just because I need more queer info on this whole era/scene!
I found this really interesting beause I was named after Marlene Dietrich and wanted to change my name because everyone kept saying it wrong until I did some research and found out what an interesting person she was!
Jessica I can’t even begin to explain how absolutely amazing and stunning and beyond everything you are!!!! Amazing video, I’ve learned so much from you x x
I wasn't sure the whole time if it was a scarf or a neckbrace, because honestly you're just that dang fashionable that everything is just you serving looks.
This was absolutely GLORIOUS 😍 You are absolutely GLORIOUS 😍 I was feeling horrible (chronic nausea x 1000 😝) but this video put a smile on my face and made me forget about being sick for a bit. As far as suggestions for videos...more Hollywood Queers please (womxn, preferably) 😊 (actually, I would love ANYTHING you talk about). Sending positive, calming vibes for a stress-free move (can’t wait to get a glimpse of your new digs) 🌺
She is a gift to the world...1) correct 2) You are as well! 3 ) #RelationshipGoals 4) Silver screen vibes✅ 5) I chose to be fashionably late to comment as it is customary for anyone of good taste to be late sometimes =D

@@salenebrom6476 Yes, if you watched Bohemian Rhapsody there's also a scene where they showed the picture
@@salenebrom6476 you can watch it on TH-cam, it's called "Freddie's new house scene"
Hay the more you kinow.☺
Wasn't he gay not bi?
You make the neckbrace just look like a fashionable scarf
PurpleHat026 i forgot it was a brace throughout the entire video tbh
That's what I thought it was when I saw the thumbnail then when I started watching the video I went oh wait..
IT’S NOT A SCARF?
ITS A NECKBRACE???????? I literally thought it was a scarf! oops
The whole time I was wondering why she was wearing a scarf. I thought it was part of her outfit.
LGBT? Anti fascism? Was this video made for me?
KannibalCat haha same!
Same
yes, yes it was
It was Made For Me more! (background voice): No! For ME more (etc..)😀.

And after she says “she’s a gift to the world” Jessica’s face basically says “and she’s all mine” 😂😂

I dressed as her for my prom last year. Full tails. I melted but it was well worth it.
that is so cool!
@@annaswanson5903 Not cool enough considering the melting part. ;)
Good for you.
You melted? Also I could definitely imagine one of my friends dressing as her for prom(prom has not happened yet)

"Things you wish you didn't know about your mum" - Jessica I adore you!
I was wondering if you could do something about Alan Turing, the gay man who made the first computer that cracked the enigma code
Ooh, yes please. Also lady coders in general because they were a huge thing that gets overlooked sooooo much
@@NightWatchersPet Lady scientists in all regards get overlooked, they deserve more recognition.
@@NightWatchersPet yes - like Ada Lovelace.
Turing would be great! He also had ASD (autism spectrum disorder) so that would be interesting to include as a mental disability.
Turing: saves UK from Nazis
UK: "why are you gay"
THANK YOU FOR CORRECTLY IDENTIFYING MARLENE AS BI I LOVE HER and YOU
"Hold onto your seats, we're about to bring in some NAZIS" I giggled
Is it weird that upon seeing the neck brace my first thought was, “oooh, it matches the dark blue/navy in her dress!”
No! I saw the brace and went "oh that looks beautiful, what is it?" And then realized it was a neck brace.
Katie Pie omg! I didn’t even notice it until I read this comment! But that’s the cutest neck brace I’ve ever seen lol
Honestly-- I wouldn't have had a single solitary issue with Jessica not mentioning the neck brace at all. Also I love the random Stevie appearance!
I honestly didn't notice the neck brace until she brought it up.
I thought it was a scarf
I'm here for all the vintage queer antifascists you can toss at me. Loving this content! ❤
NightWatchersPet there's an endless supply hon.
Fabulous as always. Looking at Marlene's war effort, I can't help thinking "SHE's the model for Captain America in Marvel's CA First Avenger" only with more flair.
Saw "bisexual" and swooped right in.

Hi, Rikki! I watch your videos too!

Oh! Hi!
I was only interested by how well coordinated the neck brace was to that amazing dress!
@@megnoliaedge6500 same; Jessica continues to make everything look lovely. (that takes skill and talent)
@@megnoliaedge6500 I thought it was like a scarf or something until she mentioned it 😔
Amazing video again ^^ Might I just add tho, a story about that kiss in Morocco. She knew there was a really big chance of her kiss being cut out of the film. Hence, she took a flower from the woman and gave it to Gary Cooper. That way, there would be continuity problems had they cut the scene :)
“The Bisexual Anti-Nazi”
me?
“Marlene Dietrich”
ah, yes, good ol’ Marle too.
She got around! It's awesome to hear about women who totally own their sexuality. Such a strong woman!
She played a big part in making me realize I'm bisexual. Such a fantastic woman. I'm obsessed, help 😂
As a German I highly approve of this video. Started liking her as a child and she was just such a beautiful human being on both the inside and outside.
agreed
The level of sass in this video while I learn amazingly interesting queer things is EVERYTHIIIIING.
Also, a Garbo video would be great!🤗
Yes, please do a Greta Garbo video! I loved this!
Thank you for sharing this celebrity profile!! You don't hear much about bisexuality in the 30s-50s. I greatly enjoyed this!!
Ice Queens be icy. ❄️ new favourite phrase. 😎
wait, there is an emoji that looks exactly like Jessica? oh my
My mother named me after her and now learning about these things makes it so much more important 🥺🥺
I am old and gay and neurodivergent with likely some other learning disabilities. Love ❤ watching you because the way you talk, style yourself glamor etc. You are life affirming. Congratulations on your life!

PS. Girl, that lesson at the end about normalizing medical equipment. you got me there!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COVERING SOMEONE BI!!!
Since coming to terms with my bi-ness, I've wanted to see something like this. Thank you ❤️❤️

YAS! Here for the Bisexual representation and the end of Bi-erasure! 💖💜💙

Sees the title
Saves to watch later
Watches now anyway because bisexuality + antifascism ✊
Marlene's androgynous look was my inspiration for my Purim outfit this year
@Rachtop no, Purim. It's a Jewish holiday
We stan. Mostly because I learned about Marlene when Sasha Velour did her as her Snatch Game character uwu ❤️
"Teutonic bisexuals make the most forceful and unforgettable lovers." is a quote I will never forget
Bless you for normalizing episodic medical conditions! I get policed so much by both sides for having intermittent disabilities!

She was born almost 100 years before I was born! (Only 29 days from exactly 100 years)
She died the year I was born and was 3 years older than my grandpa who happened to like her a lot.
“The Girls” really said stan lesbians for clear skin and I LOVE IT!! Seriously though Marlene is ✨BISEXUAL ENERGY GOALS!!✨
Oh, "Der Eigene" was so badly butchered it was hilarious! I couldn't have come up with such a pronunciation myself :P

Jessica I can’t even begin to explain how absolutely amazing and stunning and beyond everything you are!!!! Amazing video, I’ve learned so much from you x x
Brilliant as always.👏🏼 You, my dear Jessica, are also a gift to this world. Thank you.🌈❤️
I wasn't sure the whole time if it was a scarf or a neckbrace, because honestly you're just that dang fashionable that everything is just you serving looks.
This was absolutely GLORIOUS 😍 You are absolutely GLORIOUS 😍 I was feeling horrible (chronic nausea x 1000 😝) but this video put a smile on my face and made me forget about being sick for a bit. As far as suggestions for videos...more Hollywood Queers please (womxn, preferably) 😊 (actually, I would love ANYTHING you talk about). Sending positive, calming vibes for a stress-free move (can’t wait to get a glimpse of your new digs) 🌺
How do you always manage to look so elegant?
She is a gift to the world...1) correct 2) You are as well! 3 ) #RelationshipGoals 4) Silver screen vibes✅ 5) I chose to be fashionably late to comment as it is customary for anyone of good taste to be late sometimes =D
