Tall narrow first-name strokes and a broad surname D
Several very tall slender uprights open Marlene. The smaller first-name forms then lead toward a broad horizontal D loop and a thin rightward surname continuation. Compare the narrow high beginning with the much wider central oval: the autograph changes both scale and direction between its two readable name regions.

Opening, letter body and finish
The opening stays near the height of the body letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 1.58×, while the whole image is 1.89 times as wide as it is tall. The rightmost ink finishes below the writing line; look at this ending separately from the slant of the letters themselves.
Loops and the lower flourish
The sample contains 2 enclosed loops and 3 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
Marlene Dietrich’s signature in graphology
Traditional graphology associates enlarged initials with public emphasis. The tall first-name strokes and broad surname loop repeat that gesture in contrasting proportions, followed by a more economical flowing finish.
