Marlene Dietrich comes to America

Marlene Dietrich enjoyed success on stage and screen in 1920s Berlin, but became an international star in 1930. That year she came to the United States to star in Morocco alongside Gary Cooper. Her performance was nominated for an Academy Award. So was the direction by Josef von Sternberg, who also directed her in The Blue Angel and several other films. Morocco was inducted into the National Film Registry in 1992, and will be inducted into the public domain in 4 days.
