act in the German Nazi propaganda until she left Berlin with her husband Franz Grothe at the end of April 1945. In 1946 she dubbed Marlene Dietrich in the German version of the French picture Martin Roumaniac. She was the sister of actress Else Heiberg. After World War II Back in Norway after the war, she met great difficulty in finding roles due to her time in Germany during the war. However, she was not arrested by the Norwegians since she still was a German citizen, her marriage to Franz Grothe having not been formally annulled. In Germany, she was seen in four films after the war. In Trondheim, she got an engagement as a resident at Trøndelag Teater 1952–60, acting in operettas, comedies, and serious classics and modern dramas. She also sporadically appeared at the Oslo scene in the 1960s and 70s, but she faced a boycott in Oslo, and never again was given a steady job at any theatre or film company. Legacy On 15 August 2008, the premiere was held of the monologue "Glamour for Goebbels" at Haugesund Teater as part of the film festival. Elsa Aanensen performed as Kirsten Heiberg.
