	Vetenskapsrådets projektdatabas - Vill ni se en skamstjärna, se på Zarah! Zarah Leander och queer divakult
		Leander hade blivit ryktbar i en rad tyska underhållningsfilmer på 1930-talet, men när hon vid 51 års ålder återvände till scenen vann hon, överraskande nog, en stor svensk och internationell publik.
		I fallet Leander rörde det sig om hennes koppling till nazismen, medan de icke-heterosexuellas och icke-könsnormativas skam var förknippad med kön och sexualitet.
		Detta är en forskningsvinkel som hittills inte förekommit i Leander-forskningen och framför allt inte i Sverige där forskningsansatser kring Zarah Leander och den queera kulten kring henne helt och hållet saknas.

		Leander suffered a stroke after a performance during the Swedish run in Stockholm in late 1978 and was after that confined to a wheel-chair and hospitalized in Norrköping, never performing on a stage again.
		Leander also earned substantial acclaim for her portrayal of Mme Armfeldt from both audience and musical critics; something that touched her deepely (she had been much surprised, but happy, when she initially was approached and asked to play the part).
		As there are no video to the audio I made a simple one myself with photos, focusing on Leander in her later years (some of the photos shows her as Mrs Armfeldt from the Austrian and Swedish stagings).

		In 1936, Goebbels signed Leander to the recently nationalized film studio UFA, and the Swedish Leander became the highest paid Nazi film star (much to Goebbels consternation), and one of the most popular actresses and singers in Germany and Europe.
		By 1943, Leander saw the handwriting on the wall and stiffed Goebbels, fleeing Germany for her Nazi-film-financed palace in Sweden.
		According to a 2004 book by Anthony Beevor (The Mystery of Olga Chekhova), Leander was in fact working for Soviet intelligence the entire time she was under contract to Goebbels, passing Nazi secrets on to the Russians whenever she visited her home in Stockholm.

		Zarah didn't really get along with the Nazi bigwigs.
		Although the Fhrer thought she was wonderful, Goebbels was put off by her independent attitude, her love of aquavit and her insistence on being paid in Swedish Kroner (like that other big star, Hans Albers of Baron Mnchausen fame.) He even once suggested she change her name because according to him, "Zarah" sounded too Jewish.
		When an American GI named Adolf Hitler was taunted, he said "Let the other guy change his name".
