INFORMATION TO COME AND MORE IMAGES.

In 1958, Life Magazine invited Marilyn Monroe and photographer Richard Avedon to recreate images of five celebrated actresses of different eras. One of these was Marilyn as Marlene Dietrich.

The caption in the December 22 issue of LIFE magazine read:

This is Marlene Dietrich in the role that made her famous the cabaret singer of The Blue Angel in 1930, the husky-voiced temptress with her fatalistic song, Falling in Love Again. Marlene's divine legs and glamor seem to endure forever. She can still make $30,000 a week singing at Las Vegas.

Avedon found in Marilyn an easy subject to work with, She gave more to the still camera than every other actress than every other woman I had the opportunity to photograph - Said Avdedon. He added that she was more patient with him and more demanding of herself than others and that she was more comfortable in front of the camera than when not posing.
