Marlene Dietrich and Dorothea Wieck posing for Paramount’s publicity department, 1933. After the success of “Maedchen in Uniform” (1931), a German film with a central lesbian romance, Paramount signed Wieck to a three picture contract. Hearing of Wieck’s arrival to Hollywood, Dietrich met with her in the Paramount commissary dressed in a men’s suit and tie. The queer implication of Dietrich’s look did not endear either actress to Paramount and soon after, Wieck was on her way back to Germany. (Director Rouben Mamoulian, with which whom Dietrich was making “Song of Songs” (1933), poses with the two stars in the third image). . . . . . #marlenedietrich #dorotheawieck #maedcheninuniform #theblueangel #lgbtqhistory #queerstyle #paramountstudios #oldhollywoodstyle #womeninsuits #oldhollywood #roubenmamoulian #1930sfashion #songofsongs
