Marlene Dietrich blurred all boundaries and checked all of the boxes. In Josef von Sternberg s
Morocco (1930) she appeared onstage in a top hat and tails; during a performance she asks a woman for the flower in her hair, kisses her, and throws the flower to Gary Cooper. She was nominated for an Academy Award in the film in which she cross-dressed and implied bisexuality; not a bad start for her first film in America.
The opportunity to see her in person came 23 years after that film. In 1953 the Sahara Las Vegas offered her $30,000 per week to perform (over $292,000 per week today). And so her career as a cabaret singer was born.

Making predictions amid the pandemic is foolhardy at best, but what s planned for Las Vegas in 2021 is worthy of sweet anticipation, and there s plenty of cautious optimism for a steady recovery.
With vaccination for Covid-19 getting underway, it s a bit easier to look forward to all that Las Vegas offers, said Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. There s certainly hope and some level of confidence that as we get into the second half of 2021, things do start to return to something that makes things feel more normal, Hill said last month.

The coronavirus pandemic has made 2020 a year that no one will ever forget, and many people are ready to move on.
With a number of vaccines already seeing distribution, people are looking ahead to 2021 and a return to normalcy at some point in the new year. Until then, the best that most people can look forward to is putting 2020 behind them.
Normally, New Year s is a time to remember and move on, but the pandemic has changed virtually every aspect of life.

When Luke Rivett spotted Sunney Kohlhoss on March 1, 2019 at the Well, a bar in Los Angeles, both had recently given up on love, resolving halfheartedly, that they would be single forever.
“When Sunney walked in, she took my breath away. I walked over to her and introduced myself,” said Mr. Rivett, 41, a filmmaker and producer for Anonymous Content, a production and management company based in Los Angeles and New York. “I knew my dream girl was standing in front of me. We talked for a few minutes. I told her, ‘I’m going to marry you.’”
