Blandine was the daughter of the actress Margarethe Ebinger, b. Wezel (1878–1957), and the pianist Gustav Loeser. The doctor Dr. Ernst Ebinger was her stepfather.

Blandine began her acting career at the age of seven at the Leipziger Schauspielhaus , where she played Little Eyolf . After that, she regularly played children's roles in the theater. As a young girl she sang in Berlin cabarets such as Schall und Rauch and megalomania and made her debut in German silent films as a 17-year-old . At the end of the day, her film career would last for 70 years. In 1919 she married the composer Friedrich Hollaender and was divorced again in 1926. Hollaender wrote the song cycle songs of a poor girl for her . In the 1920s she was one of the big stars of the cabaret and chanson scene in Berlin. She sang songs by Klabund and ballads by Walter Mehring in the comedians' cabaret and gave voice to the social misery in Berlin at the end of the Weimar Republic . In 1933 she took over the management of the Tingel-Tangel Theater and continued to play minor roles in films before emigrating to the USA in 1937 . There she could not gain a foothold and received only a few small roles in Hollywood .

In 1946 she returned to Europe and in 1948 to Berlin, where she played at the Hebbel Theater and the Schiller Theater . She stayed in the GDR until the early 1950s , starred in four DEFA films and several West German cinema productions. However, her main focus was on her theater work and her chanson evenings, which were intended to keep the memory of the German cabaret song of the 1920s alive. She performed as a singer until old age and took on small roles in film and television. In 1986 she was in an episode of the ZDF series I will marry a family . A star in the Cabaret Walk of Fame is dedicated to her. Horst Königstein recorded her art for posterity with the four-part television production Blandine - a music for life in 1988. In it she appeared on television for the last time.

Honorary grave in the Dahlem forest cemetery

Her daughter Philine (* 1924) came from her first marriage. After emigrating, Philine stayed in the USA and was married to Georg Kreisler from 1941 to 1946 .

From 1965 she was married to the publisher Helwig Hassenpflug for the second time.

The estate of Blandine Ebinger is in the archive of the Academy of Arts in Berlin. Her grave, an honorary grave of the city of Berlin , is in the Dahlem forest cemetery in Berlin.

Quotes

"How old? Nobody knows! She always stands up there as a twelve-year-old snot. Her little child's voice blares like a rusted gramophone. Actually, this voice no longer deserves the name. Your disembodied child's body is thin and lean to blow on. "

- Pem 

"You could call her a rachitic Madonna ... this lissing, skinny person with strict, big eyes is the master of the tragic grotesque."

- Erich Kastner

“How were you, what you played! How did you play what you were! "

- Friedrich Hollaender
