One of Hollywood's Golden Age legends has been glorified in a Google Doodle.
The Movies | Movies free | Movies latest 2022Doodle depicts Marlene Dietrich, famous for her breakout 1930 role as cabaret singer Lola-Lola in Germany’s first talking picture, Der Blaue Engel, and who was born on this day in 1901 — that's 116 years ago.

“She was a wild original!” said Velour in a statement. “Despite the pressures of the time, she followed her own course, especially in terms of politics and gender. As a drag queen, that's particularly inspiring to me. Plus, she just had this power to her...in every role she's mysterious and strong, brilliant. That's what I aspire to be when I step on the stage.”
Velour even dressed up as Dietrich in Season 9 of Ru Paul's Drag Racefor the show's celebrity impersonation challenge, Snatch Game.
Here are a few early sketches by Velour for the Google Doodle:
