Zarah Leander (15 March 1907 – 23 June 1981) was a Swedish actress and singer.Leander began her career in the late 1920s, and by the mid-1930s her success in Europe, particularly in Germany and the Scandinavian countries, led to invitations to work in the United States. Leander was reluctant to relocate her children, and opted to remain in Europe, and from 1936 was contracted to work for the German Universum Film AG (UFA) while continuing to record songs. Leander later noted that while her films were successful, her work as a recording artist was more profitable.As a result of her controversial choice to work for the state-owned UFA in Adolf Hitler's Germany, her films and song lyrics were viewed by some as propaganda for the Nazi cause, although she took no public political position. Leander was strongly criticized as a result, particularly in Sweden where she returned after her Berlin home was bombed during an air raid. Initially she was shunned by much of the artistic community and public in Sweden, and found herself unable to resume her career after the Second World War. It was several years before she could make a comeback in Sweden, and she would remain a figure of public controversy for the rest of her life.Eventually she returned to performing throughout Europe, but was unable to equal the level of success she had previously achieved. She spent her later years in retirement in Stockholm, and died there at the age of 74. Full Name | Zarah Leander |

# | Fact |
---|---|
1 | In 1987, two Swedish musicals were written about Zarah Leander. |
2 | In an interview recorded shortly before his death in 1996 the senior Soviet intelligence officer Pavel Sudoplatov claimed that Leander had in fact been a Soviet agent with the code name "Rose-Marie". Recruited by the Soviet Union before the outbreak of war, she was said to have refused payment for her work because she was a secret member of the Swedish Communist Party and therefore conducted the work for political reasons. Leander herself denied any suggestion that she had acted as a spy for any country. |
3 | After the war she came back to Germany but she was imposed with a working prohibition too, only in 1948 she was able to gain a foothold as a singer again. |
4 | Zarah Leander became one of the greatest stars of the German film in the next years and she aroused enthusiasm with her cool kind of acting and especially with her fascinating and deep voice, which she used very successful for songs specific composed for her. From now on there were no longer movie in which Zarah Leander took part but each of her movies became Zarah-Leander movies in which she impersonated the femme fatale, surrounded with a certain sadness. |
5 | She wasn't able to go on in the post-war Germany from her earlier successes. |
6 | With the actor Willy Birgel she found an ideal manly partner. |
7 | In 2003, a bronze statue was placed in Zarah Leander's home town Karlstad, by the Opera house of Värmland where she first began her career. After many years of discussions, the town government accepted this statue on behalf of the local Zarah Leander Society. |
8 | In the beginning of the 1930s she performed with the Swedish revue artist, producer and songwriter Karl Gerhard who was a prominent anti-Nazi. He wrote a song for Zarah Leander, "I skuggan av en stövel" ("In the shadow of a boot"), in 1934 which strongly condemned the persecution of Jews in Nazi-Germany. |
9 | She studied piano and violin as a small child, and sang on stage for the first time at the age of six, she initially had no intention of becoming a professional performer and led an ordinary life for several years. |
10 | A Zarah Leander museum is open near her mansion outside Norrköping. Every year a scholarship is given to a creative artist in her tradition. |
11 | Zarah Leander left the now more difficult surrounding in Germany in 1943 and returned to Sweden after her Berlin home was bombed during an air raid. But there she was meet with hostility as a Nazi sympathizer so she had difficulties to find work. |
12 | In 1983 New Wave singer Nina Hagen, who had idolised Leander as a child had, released the single "Zarah", based on "Ich weiss, es wird einmal ein Wunder geschehen". |
13 | Initially shunned by much of the artistic community and public, she found herself unable to resume her career after the Second World War. It was several years before she could make a comeback in Sweden, and she would remain a figure of public controversy for the rest of her life. Eventually she returned to performing throughout Europe, but was unable to equal the level of success she had previously achieved. She spent her later years in retirement in Stockholm, and died there at the age of 74. |
14 | In 1929 she was engaged, as an amateur, in a touring cabaret by the entertainer and producer Ernst Rolf and for the first time sang "Vill ni se en stjärna", ("Do You Want to See a Star?") which soon would become her signature tune. |
15 | She began her career in her home country Sweden where she appeared in revues and operettas. Besides she toured through Scandinavia. |
16 | She has an entry in Jean Tulard's "Dictionnaire du Cinéma. Les Acteurs" published in Paris in may 2007, page 671, ISBN: 978-2-221-10895-6. |
17 | There are 2 new books out on Miss Leander - The Films Of Zarah Leander A Zarah Leander Sheet Music Album. |
18 | At a party she met the Nazi minister of Propaganda, Josef Goebbels, who asked her ironically: "Zarah... Isn't this a Jewish name?" "Oh, maybe" the actress told "but what about Josef?" "Hmmm... yes, yes, a good answer" Goebbels replied. |
19 | Retired from acting in 1979. |
20 | Her most popular song was "Ich weiß, es wird einmal ein Wunder gescheh'n" (lit. for I know there will be a wonder). |
21 | Born at 10:16 PM CET. |
22 | Received a Mercedes-Benz 500K from Adolf Hitler in 1935. She was filmed in that car by Victor Tourjansky. |
23 | According to a 2004 book by Anthony Beevor, ("The Mystery of Olga Chekhova"), she worked for Soviet intelligence during World War II, passing information about Nazi Germany to a Soviet contact during her visits home to Sweden. |
24 | In 1939, using the proceeds of her record earnings, she bought a big mansion, Lönö, at the Swedish East coast close to Norrköping. |
25 | Shocked her friends in the mostly liberal (anti-Nazi) Swedish theatre community, by choosing pass on offers from England and the U.S.A. to instead make films in Germany. |
26 | After the war she never seemed to understand why people couldn't accept that she was a non-political figure who only wanted to make happy musicals and happened to do so in Nazi Germany. |
27 | Her first husband -from 1926 to 1929- was the actor Nils Leander. Their children Boel, a girl, and Göran, a boy, were born in 1927 and 1929. After being married to journalist Vidar Forsell from 1932 to 1943, she finally tied the knot with pianist Arne Hülphers in 1949, with whom she worked for over 25 years. He died in 1978. |
28 | Before and during World War II, she was on the cover of about 80 magazines in Germany due to her enormous popularity. |
29 | Sister of Gustaf Hedberg. |
30 | Sometimes called "the Nazi Garbo" and, like Garbo, she was a Swede whose greatest film successes came while working in a foreign language (German) |
