The biggest Nazi film star who mocked Hitler's appearance & sold her morals to Nazis - Zarah Leander

Zarah Leander - The Biggest NAZI Film Star who Mocked Hitler's Appearance & Sold Her Morals to Nazis. Zarah Leander, one of 6 children, was born as Sara Stina Hedberg on 15 March 1907 in Karlstad, Sweden. Her father Anders was a merchant and real estate agent. Zarah studied piano and violin as a child and sang on stage for the first time at the age of six. Through the influence of her German nanny and her German piano teacher, she was familiar with the German language and culture from an early age. Between 1922–1924 Zarah lived for two years in Riga, Latvia, where she learned fluent German. She then took up work as a secretary. In 1926, Leander tried unsuccessfully to be admitted to the Royal Drama School in Stockholm. It was on this occasion that she met her future first husband, the actor Nils Leander. They married the same year and the marriage produced two children born in 1927 and 1929. Zarah’s husband Nils Leander helped her get some theater roles and they were initially quite insignificant. However, it was a role of "Hanna Glavari" in Franz Lehár's operetta The Merry Widow that she had her definitive break-through in 1931. By then she had divorced Nils Leander. In the following years, she expanded upon her career and made her living as an artist on stage and in film in Scandinavia. Her fame brought her proposals from the European continent and from Hollywood, where a number of Swedish directors and actors including Greta Garbo, were working. Leander, who did not speak English, opted for an international career on the European continent. As a mother of two school-age children, she ruled out a move to America, fearing the consequences of taking the children such a great distance and being unable to find employment. Despite the political situation, Austria and Germany were much closer to home, and Leander was already well-versed in German. A second breakthrough, by contemporary measures her international debut, was the 1936 world premiere of Axel at the Gate of Heaven at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna, directed by Max Hansen. It was a parody of Hollywood and not the least a parody of Marlene Dietrich. It was followed by the Austrian film “Premiere”, in which she played a successful cabaret star. In 1936, she landed a contract with UFA in Berlin. Ufa, Germany's largest film company founded in 1917, produced propaganda films for the Nazis from 1933-1945. Zarah Leander became renowned as a very tough negotiator, demanding both influence and a high salary, half of which was to be paid in Swedish crowns to a bank in Stockholm. In addition, she was allowed to choose scripts herself. Even though Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels dubbed her an "Enemy of Germany" for her aforementioned behavior, as a leading film star at UFA, she participated in ten films, most of them great successes....
