Madeline Winkler-Betzendahl
Madeline Winkler-Betzendahl (1899–1995) was a German photographer. Life and work Born in Berlin, Winkler was the daughter of a British mother and a German father. The doctor's daughter initially studied painting in Berlin and Paris. After the NS policy began to take action against so-called "degenerate art", however, she no longer saw a future in it and began, initially as an autodidact, to take photographs. This was followed by training as a photojournalist at the Verein der Deutschen Presse in Berlin; Winkler passed her exams in 1942. As a photographer, she concentrated on "non-political" theatre photography. She became known through pictures of a '' Clavigo'' production with Will Quadflieg in the leading role. She then became the Schiller Theatre's in-house photographer, but occasionally worked for other theatres in Berlin. During World War II she married the naval officer Rudolf Betzendahl (1892–1978). She fled to southern Germany before the effects of the bombing war. ...

Madeline Winkler Signatur 1921
''Madeline'' is a media franchise that originated as a series of children's books written and illustrated by Ludwig Bemelmans, an Austrian-American author. The books have been adapted into numerous formats, spawning telefilms, television series and a live action feature film. As a closing line, the adaptations invoke a famous phrase Ethel Barrymore used to rebuff curtain calls, "That's all there is, there isn't any more". The stories take place in a Catholic boarding school in Paris. The teacher, a nun named Miss Clavel, is strict but loves the children, cares for them, and is open to their ideas. Much of the media starts with the line "In an old house in Paris that was covered in vines, lived twelve little girls in two straight lines ..." The stories often are written entirely in rhyme, include simple themes of daily life, and the playful but harmless mischief of Madeline, which appeal to children and parents alike. Most of the books have several recurring themes, such as Miss Cl ...
