Marlene Dietrich, photographed by Mercedes de Acosta, c. 1935.
“Her affair with Mercedes was sensual. Mercedes wrote Marlene:
‘Wonderful one,
It is one week today since your beautiful naughty hand opened a white rose. Last night was even more wonderful and each time I see you it grows more wonderful and exciting. You with your exquisite white pansy face—and before you go to bed will you ring me so that I can just hear your voice?’”
