Actress Marlene Dietrich, with her dark eyes, perfect bone structure and blond curls, was the epitome of beauty in the early 1930s. She used her mysterious allure to defy gender roles, charm audiences and eventually become an essential part of the wartime efforts. Dietrich was born in Germany in 1901 and originally wanted to be a violinist before taking up theater and dance, eventually debuting onstage as a chorus girl before her first film, The Little Napoleon, in 1923. Dietrich continued to appear in German films until her collaboration with director Josef von Sternberg, The Blue Angel, premiered in 1930. The film was a worldwide success. Dietrich’s first film in the United States was Morocco, again pairing her with von Sternberg. The film featured Dietrich as cabaret singer Amy Jolly, who kisses a woman, dresses like a man, and blends masculine and feminine characteristics. The movie was a giant hit, and Dietrich became an object of desire for men and women. About her controversial fashion sense, she famously said, “I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men.” In 1933, Dietrich became the highest-paid actress at Paramount. She collaborated with von Sternberg in 1935 on their sixth and final film together, the box-office disaster The Devil Is a Woman, before again proving herself a powerhouse in Desire. Unfortunately, a series of flops followed, which led Paramount to buy out the remainder of her contract. It was around this time, as World War II began, that Dietrich received American citizenship and

Question: In Stephen King’s novel Misery, published in 1987, Annie, who was born in 1943, is 44 years old. In Castle Rock, the younger Annie has a cellphone, and in one episode there is a rather oldlooking sign advertising high-speed internet. Even if this younger Annie is only 10 years younger, the internet wasn’t available and cell phones were not around. — Doyle

Matt Roush: To fully enjoy Castle Rock (which I’ll concede isn’t easy), you need to keep in mind that this anthology isn’t adapting Stephen King stories literally, but borrowing characters and settings (like Salem’s Lot’s Marsten House) and creating entirely new stories around them. So Lizzy Caplan’s Annie Wilkes is not entirely the same Annie as seen in the novel or film, and this younger version has been transplanted into a current-day environment. In an upcoming episode that reveals her and daughter Joy’s backstory, while much of her psychopathy is quite similar, you’ll see many differences. Much like how Jerusalem’s Lot is no longer a haven for vampires but a breeding ground for another sort of ghoul. Castle Rock at best is a mash-up of King tropes with lots of Easter eggs to titillate fans. At worst, it’s a cheapening of King’s oeuvre with its messy collision of tones — in this case, fusing Annie’s psychological terrors with Salem’s Lot-style boogeymen.

became heavily involved with spreading anti-Nazi sentiment. She reportedly sold more war bonds than any other celebrity and went on long USO trips wherever troops were deployed. She participated in musical propaganda meant to wear down enemy troops and donated her entire salary from the film Knight Without Armor to help refugees. For her work during the war, Dietrich was awarded the Medal of Freedom. She said of all of her achievements, this was her greatest accomplishment. “I was brought up to do my duty — duty to school, duty to everybody, duty to the world, to the principles you stand for. … And not to pay too much attention to yourself. We were taught that we were not important. We were taught that you were nobody, and that you just better work hard and make good because your troubles are not important,” Dietrich said during an interview in 1971. “I must say it helped me very much all during my life. Because if you pay too much attention to yourself, I don’t think you can help many people.” From the ‘50s through the ‘70s, Dietrich spent her time in the theater, collaborating with composer Burt Bacharach. She often appeared in a top hat and tuxedo, harkening back to her provocative movie beginnings. Dietrich toured the world until her health declined, and she withdrew to an apartment in Paris, where she died in 1992 at the age of 90.

SHOWTIME will premiere season seven of Ray Donovan on Sunday, November 17 at 8 PM ET/PT (a new time slot). This season finds Ray (Liev Schreiber) working to be the man his family needs him to be. While he makes progress with Dr. Amiot (Alan Alda), there are dangers from the past that require the Ray Donovan of old. Between NYC mayor Ed Feratti (Zach Grenier), an unrelenting NYPD officer hunting for the truth and clients old and new, Ray struggles to find the balance between fixing for clients and fixing himself. And when Feratti’s corruption brings a piece of Mickey’s past (Jon Voight) back to New York, Ray is forced to seek answers to long-buried questions.
