    1010 Marlene is an main-belt asteroid about 44 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at Heidelberg Observatory on November 12, 1923, and assigned a provisional designation was 1923 PF. It was later named after Marlene Dietrich, with the 1010 identifier indicating the order of the minor planet discovery.[3] Photometric measurements of the asteroid made in 2005 at the Palmer Divide Observatory showed a light curve with a period of 31.06 ± 0.02 hours and a brightness variation of 0.32 ± 0.02 in magnitude.[2]
