Renate Müller
Actor · 1906 – 1937 · Munich, Germany
Renate Müller was a German singer and actress in both silent films and sound films, as well as on stage. Her talent and blue-eyed blonde Aryan looks attracted the attention of the Nazi party and, in particular, Joseph Goebbels who arranged an introduction to Adolf Hitler, and encouraged a relationship between the two. The circumstances surrounding her death are unclear and there are different versions. One claims that she fell from a window of her house after the arrival of Gestapo agents. Her life story was adapted for the screen in 1960, where she was played by well-known German actress Ruth Leuwirk in “Liebling der Götter” (The Darling of the Gods).

Movie6.5DramaOriginally Liebe in Ring, this German part-talkie is a generally agreeable effort to transform heavyweight boxing champ Max Schmeling into a movie star. It's the old saw about an up-and-coming pugilist who ignores his loyal girlfriend in favor of a wealthy adventuress. His new romance nearly wrecks the hero's career, but with the help of his friends -- and of course, his real sweetheart -- he makes a spectacular comeback. The final scenes show Schmeling and his new bride heading for America, which was evidently Mecca so far as pre-Hitlerian German filmmakers were concerned. Max Schmeling's leading lady in Love in the Ring is Olga Tschechowa; in real life, he married the equally popular actress Anny Ondra
