“She has the bearing of a man; the characters she plays love power and wear trousers. Marlene’s masculinity appeals to women and her sexuality to men.” ~~@Kenneth Tynan.

Marlene Dietrich was not a pretty girl~~but she had a remarkably tight body~~truly tight~~particularly considering the indifference to exercise then so common to her sex~~likely it was the German in her~~yet she was far more masculine than I could ever hope, or want, to pull off.~~

She had a line in a movie in which she said “One can grow very tired of gratitude.”

Today, somehow, those words came to me as very prescient of modern life~~

"Jean-Marie Le Pen is a friend. He is dangerous for the political set because he's the only one who's sincere. He says out loud what many people think deep down, and what the politicians refrain from saying because they are either too demagogic or too chicken. Le Pen, with all his faults and qualities, is probably the only one who thinks about the interests of France before his own."~~
French actor~~Alain Delon
