photography training off the coast of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in 2012. Underwater photography is
usually done while scuba diving, but can also be done while diving on surface supply, snorkeling,
swimming, from a submersible or remotely operated underwater vehicle, or from automated cameras
lowered from the surface. It frequently requires specialized equipment and techniques.

Marie Magdalene "Marlene" Dietrich (/mrlenditrk/, German pronunciation: [malen dit];

27 December 1901 6 May 1992)[1] was a German-American actress and singer.
Dietrich maintained popularity throughout her unusually long show business career by continually reinventing herself, professionally and characteristically. In the 1920s, in Berlin, she acted on the stage
and in silent films. Her performance as Lola-Lola in The Blue Angel (1930), directed by Josef von
Sternberg, brought her international fame and resulted in a contract with Paramount Pictures.
Dietrich starred in Hollywood films such asMorocco (1930), Shanghai Express (1932)
and Desire (1936). She successfully traded on her glamorous persona and "exotic" looks, cementing
her super-stardom and becoming one of the highest-paid actresses of the era.
Dietrich became a U.S. citizen in 1939,[2] and throughout World War II she was a high-profile frontline
entertainer. Although she still made occasional films after World War II, Dietrich spent most of the
1950s to the 1970s touring the world as a marquee live-show performer. Dietrich was noted for her
humanitarian efforts during the War, housing German and French exiles, providing financial support,
and even advocating for their US citizenship. For her work improving morale on the front lines in
WWII, she received honors from the US, France, Belgium, and Israel. In 1999, the American Film
Institute named Dietrich the ninth-greatest female star of classic Hollywood cinema.[3]
