==Life and career== Born in [[Munich]], [[Kingdom of Bavaria]], [[German Empire|Germany]], Müller entered films in 1929 in [[Berlin]], and quickly became popular. A blue-eyed blonde, she was considered to be one of the great beauties of her day, and, along with [[Marlene Dietrich]], was seen to embody fashionable Berlin society. She starred in more than twenty German films, including ''[[Viktor und Viktoria]]'' (1933), one of her biggest successes, which was [[remake|remade]] decades later as ''[[Victor Victoria]]'' with [[Julie Andrews]]. After making ''[[Sunshine Susie]]'' (1932) in England, she returned to Germany and was delayed by anti-German French officials for a short time in Paris. The incident was used by [[Dennis Wheatley]] as a basis for his short story, "Espionage". The story and a short discussion of the incident are included in Wheatley's short story collection ''Mediterranean Nights''. With the rise of the [[National Socialist German Workers Party|Nazi Party]], Müller came to be regarded as an ideal "[[Aryan]]" woman, and, particularly in light of Dietrich's move to [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]], was courted and promoted as Germany's leading film actress.
