In this episode, DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire has the story of a deutsche Diva — an iconic German actress and singer and best-selling author known for her glamour and scandal, her smoky voice and sweeping false eyelashes. Hildegard Knef was also an unreliable narrator and a serial fabulator who was alternately loved and hated in her homeland.
Producer/host Susan Stone is joined by other DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens to introduce our featured Dead Lady.
To see Hildegard in all her eye-lashed glory, and hear some of her vocal stylings, visit our show notes: https://deadladiesshow.com/2023/06/15/podcast-64-hildegard-knef
Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.
