("Baroness Lips von Lipstrill"???)
Jeanette Schmid, Austria's last professional whistler, who
once shared a stage with Frank Sinatra, died of the flu
Thursday, a newspaper reported Thursday. She was 80.
Schmid, better known as Baroness Lips von Lipstrill, died
in her Vienna apartment.
Schmid, born a man in what now is the Czech Republic,
underwent a gender change in 1964 in Cairo, where she
lived for 15 years.
She embarked on a whistling career during a visit to
Tehran to perform for the Shah of Iran. Her costume as a
dancer was deemed too skimpy, so she whistled a Johann
Strauss Jr. polka instead.
She whistled on stage with Sinatra, Marlene Dietrich and
Edith Piaf, and she continued performing even in recent
years. Schmid was a popular performer on cruises, where
she delighted audiences by hitting the high C.
