I always get the two of them mixed up (or, rather, I have a hard time distinguishing their photographs from one another).

Yeah, that's Marlene. I should know, I named my last German car after her.

Ah Marlene Dietrich, you guys are making me nostalgic enough to seek out her German version of Lili Marleen - try # 8 on the playlist here.
