La nura filo de Dietrich, nome [[Maria Riva]], naskiĝis en Berlino la 13an de decembro 1924. Ŝi iĝis poste aktorino, kaj laboris ĉefe en televido. Kiam Maria naskis filon (J. Michael Riva, poste fama produktora dezajnisto) en 1948, Dietrich estis nomita "la plej seksalloga avino en la mondo". Post la morto de Dietrich, Riva publikigis honestan kaj tre laŭditan biografion de sia patrino, titolitan ''Marlene Dietrich'' (1992).<ref>[http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1394714.Marlene_Dietrich_by_Her_Daughter "Marlene Dietrich by Her Daughter"].
