John Gilbert was a big, big silent actor who...
And was considered the great lover and was the big silent actor after Valentino who had an affair with Greta Garbo and was very helpful to Garbo because he gave her a lot of advice, told her to go on strike to get more money.
They were live-in lovers.
Oh, wow.
When the talkies came in, his career was just destroyed.
He didn't have a bad voice, but just something... It was just weird to hear him talk.
There was something like that.
Yeah, it's like we were talking about once about how when you get on, you get literalized when you're in a talkie.
All of a sudden, you're a certain person from a certain place, that kind of thing.
And it just didn't seem to work.
I like him better in the talkies myself, but that was not the opinion at the time.
Anyway, Dietrich hears that John Gilbert is drinking himself to death.
And so she decides, she shows up at his door and basically says, I'm going to straighten you out.
And this is one of the nice things about Dietrich.
She loved taking care of people.
She really enjoyed it.
And she really enjoyed babying men, especially when they were vulnerable.
It's like when she had an affair with Kirk Douglas.
Right.
She had an affair with Kirk Douglas.
