- SpouseHeinz Paul(? - December 1951) (her death)
- She played on the begin of her carrier in Teatr Artystyczny in Warsaw.
- Besides her activity as an actress she also wrote some scripts for movies.
- The interest of the audience for Hella-Moja movies faded slowly in the 20's. She only appeared in few movies like "Abgrund der Seele" (1920), "Gräfin Walewska" (1920), "Der Mann um Mitternacht" (1924) and "U 9 Weddigen" (1927) before her screen career was finally finished because of the sound film era.
- When she was spotted by Alwin Neuss for the film this marked a rapid increase of her popularity.
- The year of her death is not really clear. On one hand there should exist news of her death in a newspaper in 1937, on the other hand resources say that she changed her name several times in the years 1934, 1937 and 1942 which makes more confusing.
