Episode Supersluts of History: Hollywood's Marlene Dietrich
Marlene Dietrich was unapologetic in her love of sex, and she had a lot of it.
She took Hollywood by storm in the 1930s and slept with some of tinsel town's most famous men and women.
What made her so unique and create such a legacy? As a sexually liberated German woman what did the Nazis make of her? And did she really sleep with JFK and his father?!
This is the final instalment of our mini-series, Supersluts of History, where we're exploring and celebrating women whose sexuality was used to define them. Have we saved the best til last?
Joining Kate for this episode is author and journalist Mick LaSalle.
This episode was edited by Hannah Feodorov. The producer was Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Freddy Chick.
