Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.

Some Ilse Werner images

Ilse Werner was born in Batavia (present-day Djakarta), the daughter of the Dutch merchant O.E.G. Still and his German wife, Lilly Werner. She spent her early childhood in Batavia, before the family moved her to Frankfurt to attend secondary school.

In 1936, Ilse enrolled at the Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna to study elocution and drama. Following her graduation, she was offered a contract with a prestigious theatre in Josefstadt and made her stage debut in 1938.

'Discovered' by the director 'Geza von Bolvary' during a performance, she first acted on screen in Finale (1938). Her career then took off at lightning speed and she became one of the most popular stars at Ufa for the next seven years.

An attractive, tomboyish brunette, Ilse had a considerable aptitude for singing, which producers brought to the fore by frequently casting her in films like Wunschkonzert (1940), the pop musical Wir machen Musik (1942), and (as 19th century Swedish opera star Jenny Lind) in the biopic Die schwedische Nachtigall (1941).

Ilse could also be called upon to handle dramatic material and gave creditable performances in Bel Ami (1939) and Grosse Freiheit Nr. 7 (1944), opposite Hans Albers. She cleverly alternated her film career with appearances in cabaret and on radio.

After the war, she married an American journalist and spent several years in California. After her divorce in 1953, she returned to Germany, but a successful movie comeback eluded her. Nonetheless, she remained in the public eye after releasing several top-selling albums.

Her pop song "Baciare" became a major hit across Europe in 1960. In 1970, Ilse acted in a German stage version of the musical "The King and I", and, thereafter, continued to make further sporadic appearances on stage and on television until her eventual retirement in 2000.
