Photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt / LIFE
 
 
Marlene Dietrich, Berlin, 1928.
 
 
"At the annual Pressball in the famous Hotel Adlon, Dietrich wore tails and pants, which was unheard of at that time. She had to stand very still because the exposure was always between half a second and a second. If someone moved I had to take the picture over again." 
- Alfred Eisenstaedt
