[ listen ]
Born in Hamburg in 1891, Hans Albers appeared with Marlene Dietrich in The Blue Angel before going on to become one of the most popular actors in Germany through the 1930s and first half of the 1940s. Though often pictured at the helm of a ship wearing a captain's hat, and though his singing voice seems to have been weathered by each of the seven seas, Albers evidently had virtually no experience on the water aside from one quick trip to Heligoland.
