Kirsten Heiberg (25 April 1907 – 2 March 1976) was a Norwegian actress and singer who had a major film career in Germany between 1938 and 1954. She reached the peak of her career in 1942-43, performing in Joseph Goebbels version of ''Titanic''. After the war she was given a two year ban by the Allies due to her role in the Nazi propaganda.〔Bjørn-Erik Hanssen: ''Glamour for Goebbels'' Aschehoug Publishing House, Oslo 2014, p. 343〕 In Norway she was never punished, as she was a German citizen.〔''Adresseavisen'': ''Nazisten på Trøndelag Teater'' 2009, http://www.adressa.no/meninger/article1305752.ece〕 ==Biography== Heiberg grew up in the towns Kragerø, Kongsberg and Oslo, and studied in Lausanne, Dijon and Paris. Later, she studied English in Oxford, England. She made her debut at Den Nationale Scene in Bergen in 1929, and in the 1930s at the Carl Johan-Teatret and Scala Revyteater in Oslo. Kirsten Heiberg also performed in several Norwegian and Swedish films in the early 1930s and had her breakthrough in the comedy ''Han, hon och pengarna'' ("''He, she and the money''") in 1936. After guest appearances in the operetta revue "Pam-Pam" at Theater an der Wien in 1937, she began a career in Germany both as a film actress and recording artist. She became a significant actress in the German film industry and The Third Reich's femme fatale - the "new Marlene Dietrich". In Vienna, she met the composer Franz Grothe, who was a member of the NSDAP〔 Copy of Franz Grothe's membership book in the NSDAP, Bundesarchiv Lichterfelde, Berlin.〕 They married in Oslo in 1938 and moved to Berlin. Kirsten Heiberg made her German film debut in Curt Goetz' ''Napoleon ist an allem Schuld'', and a row of films followed, among others: ''Frauen für Golden Hill'' (1938), ''Achtung! Feind hört mit!'' (1940) and ''Titanic'' (1942-43). Kirsten Heiberg was also very active in the German welfare for the troops (''Truppenbetreuung''), traveling around the country, also abroad, singing for the German soldiers.〔 Referred by Heiberg herself in a radio interview in December 1940. Norwegian Broadcasting archive, program dated 22. of December 1940.〕 Kirsten Heiberg claimed after the war that she was black listed by German Nazi authorities for not joining the NSDAP, and that she spent two years without work. However, there is no evidence in German archive sources to prove this. On the contrary, Kirsten Heiberg's name can be found on the salary lists of the German film industry every year from April 1940, when she got her ''Reichsfilmkammer'' membership, until 1945.〔Bjørn-Erik Hanssen: ''Glamour for Goebbels'' Aschehoug Publishing House, Oslo 2014, p. 475〕 Kirsten Heiberg was also, since April 1939, a member of the ''Kameradschaft der deutschen Künstler'', an organisation for artists founded by the SS member Benno von Arent in 1933.〔Mitgliederverzeichnis (Membership list) KddK, August 1940, Deutsches Nationalbibliothek, Leipzig.〕 Both Goebbels and Hermann Göring were honorable members. Kirsten Heiberg continued to act in the German Nazi propaganda until she left Berlin with her husband Franz Grothe at the end of April 1945. In 1946 she dubbed Marlene Dietrich in the German version of the French picture ''Martin Roumaniac''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kirsten Heiberg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
