Fritzi Scheff’s zodiac sign is Virgo. According to astrologers, Virgos are always paying attention to the smallest details and their deep sense of humanity makes them one of the most careful signs of the zodiac. Their methodical approach to life ensures that nothing is left to chance, and although they are often tender, their heart might be closed for the outer world. This is a sign often misunderstood, not because they lack the ability to express, but because they won’t accept their feelings as valid, true, or even relevant when opposed to reason. The symbolism behind the name speaks well of their nature, born with a feeling they are experiencing everything for the first time.
Fritzi Scheff was born in the Year of the Rabbit. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Rabbit enjoy being surrounded by family and friends. They’re popular, compassionate, sincere, and they like to avoid conflict and are sometimes seen as pushovers. Rabbits enjoy home and entertaining at home. Compatible with Goat or Pig.
The daughter of Hortense Scheff Yarger, a prima donna with the Imperial Opera in Vienna, Fritzi Scheff made her debut when eight years old singing Juliet in Charles Gounod's "Romeo and Juliet" with the Frankfurt Opera company.
After appearing with several other opera companies in Germany, she spent three years with the Metropolitan Opera in New York. She also gave a command performance for Queen Victoria at Covent Garden. From there she moved into musical comedy.
It was her role in "Mlle Modiste," written specifically for her by Victor Herbert, that contained what became her signature song, "Kiss Me Again." After that came vaudeville (1913-1930) and later appearances for Billy Rose in his show at the 1939 New York World's Fair and at the Diamond Horseshoe.
Her last appearance was on This Is Your Life. And yes, she was temperamental.
