Marlene Dietrich’s “verging from the norm” affair with fellow screen siren Kay Francis

[K] Almost-too-good-too-be-true excerpt from the FBI-files on Marlene Dietrich (whom J. Edgar Hoover suspected to be a German/European spy.)

With reference to her personal history, Source [blackened] continued that “despite her marriage to SIEBER, with whom she has not lived for many years, at least as long as has been to the United States, DIETRICH has been promiscuous in a bland, glamorous way. … During her Paramount days, she verged from the norm for an affair with KAY FRANCIS (known lesbian), and since that time has been involved in similar experiences, although less known. [blackened]’s wife, also known lesbian) reportedly once was given a large sapphire ring  by DIETRICH in a night club in the Strip.

Lesbian gossip from Hollywood’s Golden age (with government-approval.)… still good (and better/hotter than today’s) after more than 60-years.
