[marciabrady]

ILENE WOODS, the original singing and speaking voice of CINDERELLA, appearing as the titular character during a live performance in 1950. Later on in life, Ilene would develop Alzheimer’s Disease, which would ultimately kill her. She grew to forget she had even been Cinderella. Her extensive care nurse, however, found that Ilene was comforted by ♪ A DREAM IS A WISH YOUR HEART MAKES ♪, and would play it for her as much as possible.

Marlene Dietrich entertaining servicemen at a USO show in Anzio, Italy, 1944. Her paisley evening gown was later re-worn in Billy Wilder's 1948 film A Foreign Affair along with two other of Dietrich's own outfits. As Christina M. Johnson writes, "Dietrich had a history of being heavily involved with her film wardrobes. … Re-wearing wardrobe in which she had viscerally experienced the Second World War to portray a complex screen character who had also lived through the tumultuous war infused the actress' performance with direct personal experience and a tangible reality that could not have been accomplished with a brand new costume."

In general I like wedding bells at the end of novels. 'They married and lived happily ever after'--why not? it has been done.
