The star often played a femme fatale who made men melt like putty in her hand, but Dietrich did it all while wearing men's fashions, often rocking pants on and off screen. Such a fashion statement during the 1930's added to her allure and gained her many fans.

In later years, Dietrich is said to have come up with many unique ways to make her self look younger on screen as well. During the 1940's, with plastic surgery still in its infancy, the actress took matters into her own ingenius hands.

To keep herself looking her best, it is reported that Marlene Dietrich came up with her own version of the facelift!

The Daily Mail wrote in an article last year that in her early 40's, Dietrich had makeup artists twist tiny strands of her hair around hairpins to be pulled extremely tight. The pins were then fixed further back onto her head - sometimes drawing blood! Ouch!

Dietrich also used surgical tape to pull back the skin on her face, keeping it concealed in her hairline or under a wig. In addition, Dietrich would sprinkle real gold dust into her wigs for a magical effect on camera.

To achieve a more defined bone structure, the star had her molars removed to better define the hollows of her cheeks. And to keep her skin taut, the actress ran a thin gold chain under her chin and behind her ears to pull back sagging skin, taking years off her look.
