Renate Müller (1906 - 1937) sings "An einem Tag im Frühling"/"One day
in spring (the good fortune knocks on your door)" from the movie "Viktor
und Viktoria" D/1933. DESCRIPTION in ENGLISH and DEUTSCH: Renate Müller
(26 April 1906 -- 1 October 1937) was a German singer and actress in
both silent films and sound films, as well as on stage.
Born in Munich, Germany, Müller entered films in the late 1920s in
Berlin and quickly became popular. A blue-eyed blonde, she was
considered to be one of the great beauties of her day and along with
Marlene Dietrich was seen to embody fashionable Berlin society.
She starred in more than twenty German films, including Viktor und
Viktoria (1933), one of her biggest successes, which was remade decades
later as Victor/Victoria with Julie Andrews.
With the rise of the Nazi Party, Müller came to be regarded as an ideal
Aryan woman and particularly in light of Dietrich's move to Hollywood,
was courted and promoted as Germany's leading film actress.
A meeting with Adolf Hitler in the mid 1930s resulted in Müller being
offered parts in films that promoted Nazi ideals.
When she died suddenly, the German press stated the cause as epilepsy.
It was later revealed that she had died as a result of a fall from her
hotel window.
Officially described as a suicide, it was theorised that she took her
own life when her relationship with Nazi leaders deteriorated after she
showed unwillingness to appear in propaganda films.
She was also known to have been pressured to end a relationship with her
Jewish lover, but had refused. Near the end of her life she became
addicted to morphine. Witnesses also recalled seeing several Gestapo
officers entering her building shortly before she died. It has been
asserted she was either murdered by Gestapo officers who threw her from a
window, or that she panicked when she saw them arrive and jumped.
The true circumstances surrounding her death remain unclear.
