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).
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
