- Lotte Eisner was born on March 5, 1896 in Berlin, Germany. She was a writer, known for L'écran démoniaque (1963), Fata Morgana (1971) and The Long Vacation of Lotte H. Eisner (1979). She died on November 25, 1983 in Paris, France.
- Director Werner Herzog claims to have walked by foot from Munich, Germany to Paris, France (a distance of about 500 miles) in 1974 to prevent the very sick Lotte Eisner from dying (as, applying his logic, she wouldn't dare to die until he visited her on her deathbed). Eisner indeed went on to live for 8 more years after Herzog's journey.
