From Nest Magazine Fall 2002: “993 Park Ave #12E was the only real estate Marlene Dietrich ever owned – hotels and dressing rooms suited her. This place was called home for two decades, during the star’s remarkable second career as a globe trotting live performer. In 1978 she retired to Paris and some rented rooms, in 1992 to a grave near her mother in Berlin. 12E remained unsold, untouched. These photos were taken shortly before its contents were dispersed at auction in 1997.”
