| #14 It's not a sin, you know. :) Nevermind 5089 and JFM have ruined it for me. Meh... "It is a war of brute material; for hours on end you bombard them with 210's, 305's, and 380's, and when everything appears dead, when there's no more wire and no more trenches and when the survivors have been reduced to a state of madness, they send the masses out to attack. When the French are on the receiving end, not one of them breaks through and if there's only 10 out of 100 left, these 10 will fight on..." Letter from a soldier in the line, July 1916. So bring it! :) |

| #2 She became an American citizen in 1939, and should be remembered for her wartime service. From her Wikipedia entry: In December 1941, the U.S. entered World War II, and Dietrich became one of the first celebrities to raise war bonds. She entertained troops on the front lines in a USO revue that included future TV pioneer Danny Thomas as her opening act. Dietrich was known to have strong political convictions and the mind to speak them. Like many Weimar-era German entertainers, she was a staunch anti-Nazi who despised antisemitism. Dietrich recorded a number of anti-Nazi records in German for the OSS, including Lili Marleen. She also played the musical saw to entertain troops. She sang for the Allied troops on the front lines in Algeria and France, and went into Germany with Generals James M. Gavin and George S. Patton. When asked why she had done this, in spite of the obvious danger of being within a few kilometers of German lines, she replied, "aus Anstand" — "it was the decent thing to do." The U.S. Government awarded Marlene Dietrich the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her war work. Dietrich has been quoted as saying this was the honor of which she was most proud in her life. She was also made a chevalier (later commandeur) of the Légion d'honneur by the French government. |

| #1 A memorable actress, but I recall the parody of her by Madeline Kahn in "Blazing Saddles" most of all. |
