I was a young kid from Long Island who wanted to do something large with her life, so I can relate to that.

Awarded the Medal of Freedom by the U.S. Government for her war work. Also made a chevalier , later commandeur, of the Légion d'Honneur by the French government.                          

Dietrich's 1937 film, Knight Without Armour, was made in London for the Hungarian-born, Jewish producer Alexander Korda. In later interviews, she stated that she had been approached by representatives of the Nazi Party, asking her to return to Germany, but had turned them down flat. Dietrich became an American citizen in 1939.
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.
