Henriette Margarethe 'Henny' Hiebel aka La Jana ( 24 Feb 1905 - 13 Mar 1940 ) was an Austro-German dancer and silent/sound film actress . Henny trained as a dancer at the Frankfurt Opera Ballet; she first appeared on stage there at the age of 8 and later became a dancer in revues. In his autobiography, Géza von Cziffra says that he encountered her in the Chat Noir cabaret in Paris and brought her back to Berlin, where he introduced her to Frederic Zelnik and got her into films.
He describes her as he saw her then:

Quote:

And there I saw her dance for the first time: that woman possessed the most attractive body that I had set eyes upon in my not all that long life. The girl, here moving to and fro in the spotlight ... had a boyish build: slim hips, practically just the suggestion of a bust ... She was a simple, nice, approachable girl, but she had as much interest in sex as Immanuel Kant. That's to say, none at all.
