She looked very good for 71, especially back in 1972, back then many people in their 40s even 30s started to look elderly...... She was so stunning for her old age!!!
I think those who criticize her 'singing' forget that Dietrich is not cribbing from that ilk of classically trained chanteuses but rather the smoke-filled cabaret performers who were all the rage in Berlin just prior to WWII. She's not a singer, per say, and yet what she could do with a lyric, her androgynous, sultry appeal, that world-weariness elegantly sheathed in sequins, trimmed in white fur and jewels. Impossibly glamorous and deliciously exotic, Dietrich was the personification of a stardom that will likely remain unequaled as time continues to erode our illusions about what 'greatness' is, what it means to be great, and how unlikely it was that a little known fraulein from Germany should come to be regarded world-wide as one of the most exotic and captivating performers of the 20th century. Delicious. Absolutely delicious!
@@greyclouds2069 Her delivery comes from a long tradition of spoken song called Sprechgesan and other long-used musical techniques such as recitative or parlando. It dates from late 19th Century opera. Think Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady.
She was able to maintain her beauty even in her 70s, and it was truly a tour de force, because at the time there were no revolutionary cosmetic treatments, what a breathtaking beauty. ✨💙
I read that she was in a lot of pain from wounds in her legs that would not heal during this performance. She looks stunning to me. And her style! what a woman!

The bonus section (Madeline Kahn) of the Blazing Saddles DVD brought me here....😄 *All these years & I had no idea Madeline was spoofing this woman. Never even heard of her until tonight* 1/9/2021
One of the most fascinating, sexy, alluring, classy women of all time. My god if I had half of whatever it is that she has, I would be one happy woman.
I think she was a little drunk here. I think this is where she wasn’t her best any more. I read Maria’s book. I think this the going down the other side time period. Everything else though is fantastic. Still a visual feast.
I think she was one of the few stars back then who aged so well. 71 and So stunning and beautiful 😍
Absolutely stunning at the age of 71!

Work that fur coat, Miss Dietrich! Fabulous.
It's down. Swan down.
@@wkolinski28 Even better!
unica. grandissima ...sexy anche a 71 anni. altro che le divastre gonfiate e finte di oggi , incapaci di qualsiasi emozione.
No one speaks a song quite like MD

DIVA
Marlene Dietrich CRUELLA!
love you
Queen
One of the most fascinating, sexy, alluring, classy women of all time. My god if I had half of whatever it is that she has, I would be one happy woman.
FOR YOU DON
💙
She looks like those classic barbie dolls
Tankese
71 JARE
Liberace, eat your HEART OUT
How old was she here?
That necklace.. it's so dazzling.. is it diamonds
no
She was in her early 70s.
I believe it is actually the collar of the dress..if you look closely it appears to be sheer fabric on her shoulders and décolletage.
I think she was a little drunk here. I think this is where she wasn’t her best any more. I read Maria’s book. I think this the going down the other side time period. Everything else though is fantastic. Still a visual feast.
and it was JUST APPLAUSE
This is a reference you either get or you don't. "Would anyone like to listen to my record? Sure, Marlene!"
@@troianoleonardo 😂😂 fr
Amazing, she really can't sing. But it works
WHERE WAS THIS TAPED...THIS WASN'T THE TV SPECIAL WAS IT???
In London.
71 AND LOOKING 35...WHAT A MAKEUP JOB...
Omgosh that furrrrrr
A real one!
I don't get it.
Name of this song?
😳
anti war
THEM COURSE 🐴👠👜Tiens un lapin blanc👻👍💋
Fantastic! But the orchestration is so dated.
REMEK KÓPIA! NINCS MEG ILYEN ÁLLAPOTBAN A TELJES KONCERT? NAGYON JÓ LENNE!
Lily von Shtupp does it better.
I just don’t see the talent, she looks like a female impersonator and she talks, doesn’t sing !!
Well, then just go to see videos of Ariana Grande and the other shits you surely like.
You just don’t understand the beauty of Marlene. Listen to her sing “La Vie En Rose” and you’ll change your tune.
