By 1939, Dietrich accepted an offer to take on roles that contrasted with the ones she usually portrayed. While she received less pay than usual for Destry Rides Again (1939), the film revived her career with a coarse, bawdy role that also allowed her to introduce the song “See What the Boys in the Back Room Will Have.” She found herself playing similar characters in Seven Sinners (1940) and The Spoilers (1942). Throughout the 1950s and mid-1970s, Dietrich worked predominantly as a cabaret artist, touring theaters all over the world. One of her most famous cabaret performances occurred in 1953 on the Las Vegas Strip, where she wore a sheer dress designed by Jean Louis.
