Whitney Houston's inspiration : Marlene Dietrich

One of my Houston's favourite video was at least in part inspired by the wonderful film output of Marlene Dietrich. The White tuxedo and moving manner of Whitney clearly shows the inspiration from Dietrich's performances in Marocco, Blonde Venus or Seven Sinners.

Marlene Dietrich in the famous Marocco scene:



Marlene Dietrich in Blonde Venus
from 5:00 to 7:30



Marlene Dietrich in Seven Sinners singing "The Man 's in the Navy"



compare : Whitney Houston in "I'm Your Baby Tonight " (from 0:45-1:25)

Marlene Dietrich Inspiration ? Art Postcard

Some time ago I came across this card and although I found on such indication in the auction description, I thought about Marlene Dietrich because of the striking resemblance (hairdo, posh attire, shapely legs ;) ....I purchased it as a curiosity and put into the album just with other Marlene-inspired cards..... . I do not know whether or not the autor did it on purpose but I let myself belive so ....besides it's very charming postcard.....
