A bit out of fashion at the moment, but Hemingway strides like a colossus over American literature. It seems he had some influence over Marlene Dietrich, as well.
"Although it was not a physical relationship, they certainly knew how to flirt. In a letter dated June 19 1950 at 4am, Hemingway wrote: "You are getting so beautiful they will have to make passport pictures of you 9 feet tall." He continued with a question: "What do you really want to do for a life work? Break everybody's heart for a dime? You could always break mine for a nickel and I'd bring the nickel."
Damn.
