Marlene Dietrich was one of the most iconic actresses of all time. Even if you've seen her in something you might not know much about her. Maximilian Schell's Academy Award-nominated documentary "Marlene" features his interview with the actress. While the documentary obviously has only a limited focus, it becomes clear that Marlene Dietrich was a one-of-a-kind gal. She could express just about any emotion, play any role, and was never afraid to state her opinion. And of course, she helped the fight against fascism in WWII.
