References to Marlene Dietrich in pop culture.
Film:
- Lili von Schtupp in Blazing Saddles is Madeline Kahn doing a silly version of Dietrich's The Blue Angel cabaret act in The Wild West.
- In Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines, the women played by Irina Demick that Pierre Dubois keeps bumping into have names that are evocative of famous movie actresses that fit their nationality — the French Brigitte as in Brigitte Bardot, the Swedish Ingrid as in Ingrid Bergman.. and the German woman's name is, of course, Marlene.
Theatre:
- At the Crazy Horse cabaret, the German spoken lyrics of the song "You Turn Me On" include "Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß auf Liebe eingestellt" (literally "I am, from head to toe, ready for love", which goes by the title "Falling in Love Again" in English otherwise), which was famously sung by Dietrich in The Blue Angel.
Web Original:
- Karolina Żebrowska mentions Marlene Dietrich being glorious in Dishonored in her "*she was a skater girl* aka I made a 17th century Dutch winter outfit
" video.
