Marlene Dietrich was a bisexual actress married to director Rudolf Sieber in 1923 and they had an open relationship. Marlene Dietrich (27 December 1901 – 6 May 1992) was a German actress and singer.

Marlene Dietrich began acting in films in 1923, but it was her role as Lola-Lola in The Blue Angel that catapulted her to fame in 1929. Deitrich's first American film, Morocco earned Dietrich her an Oscar nomination. Between 1930 and 1935 Marlene Dietrich starred in six films: Morocco, Dishonored, Shanghai Express, Blonde Venus, The Scarlet Empress, and The Devil is a Woman.



Unlike her professional celebrity, which was carefully crafted and maintained, Dietrich's personal life was kept out of public view. Dietrich, who was bisexual, enjoyed the thriving gay scene of the time and drag balls of 1920s Berlin.

She married only once, assistant director Rudolf Sieber, who later became an assistant director at Paramount Pictures in France, responsible for foreign language dubbing. Dietrich's only child, Maria Elisabeth Sieber, was born in Berlin on 13 December 1924. She would later become an actress, primarily working in television, known as Maria Riva. When Maria gave birth to a son in 1948, Dietrich was dubbed "the world's most glamorous grandmother".
