Blandine Ebinger (4 November 1899, Berlin
- 25 December 1993, Berlin, aged 94) was a German actress and chanson
niere, the daughter of the pianist Gustav Loeser and the actress Margarete Wezel. Blandine Ebinger became acquainted with Friedrich Hollaender in 1919, and with him she became heavily invested as a performer, writer, and composer in the Berlin cabaret scene in the 1920s, beginning in the Cabaret Schall und Rauch and the Cafe Grossenwahn. She married Friedrich Hollaender, and she recorded many of his cabaret songs, including the set of songs entitled Lieder Eines Armen Madchen." Although Blandine and Friedrich ended their marriage before Hollaender emigrated to the United States because of the increasingly hostile environment for Jewish citizens in the early 1930s, Blandine nevertheless faced discrimination as a result of the marriage, much of which was directed at their half-Jewish daughter, Philine. She emigrated to the United States in 1937, returning to Berlin in 1947. She moved to Munich, where she met her second husband, in 1961. They eventually settled back in Berlin, where Blandine continued her career in the theater and as an actress on television productions. Ebinger died on 25 December 1993 in Berlin. She was 94 years old.
