Your lips are warm and familiar, and you feel like someone I know.

Marlene Dietrich entertaining servicemen at a USO show in Anzio, Italy, 1944. Her paisley evening gown was later re-worn in Billy Wilder's 1948 film A Foreign Affair along with two other of Dietrich's own outfits. As Christina M. Johnson writes, "Dietrich had a history of being heavily involved with her film wardrobes. … Re-wearing wardrobe in which she had viscerally experienced the Second World War to portray a complex screen character who had also lived through the tumultuous war infused the actress' performance with direct personal experience and a tangible reality that could not have been accomplished with a brand new costume."
