Summary

[edit]
Description Postcard photo of en:Marlene Dietrich promoting her performance at Las Vegas' Sahara hotel. The dress she's wearing was 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.
Date Not mailed but says to affix four cents postage. If the card was oversize, it would need to have first class postage. en:History of United States postage rates First class postage was 4 cents from 1958 to 1963; postcards were 4 cents from 1958 to 1963. Circa 1958 to 1963 based on postage rates.
