Marlene on the Radio

Here with Cecile B. DeMille and Clark Gable during a performance for Lux Radio Theater of "The Legionnaire and the Lady" (basis for the film Morocco) in the early 1930s. (In the film version she played opposite Gary Cooper--Dietrich never made a film with Gable.) (From the library of Gene Ringgold.)
