These fabulous photos were taken by Loomis Dean for Life magazine that show Marlene Dietrich promoting her performance at Las Vegas’ Sahara hotel, Las Vegas in 1953. The dress she was wearing referred to as the “nude dress” because it gave the illusion that Dietrich was wearing a very thin gown and nothing underneath it.
The engagement there was in 1953 and she was paid $30,000 a week, the equivalent of $279,000 (rounded) a week in 2018, a very substantial rate for a performer at the time, and now as well.
