  • Trivia
    In a 1977 television show, the interviewer tactfully suggested that by the dawn of the 1950's Gert was perhaps not so well remembered as before. With typical self-deprecating humor and bluntness typical for Berliners, she exclaimed, "Not so well remembered? I was totally forgotten!".
