| 1 | An amusing test film has survived of Hitchcock "interviewing" Ondra, in which the director teases the actress and asks her some personal questions. |
| 2 | Ondra's career in the UK was hurt by the introduction of talking pictures. Ondra's thick accent was considered unacceptable. When the movie Blackmail was remade with sound her dialogue was recorded by actress Joan Barry. |
| 3 | When Karel Lamac had to leave Germany, Anny Ondra appeared only rarely in movies. After "Himmel, wir erben ein Schloss" (1942) it took eight years till she played in a new movie again. Lamac remained her friend for a lifetime. He died in her arms in 1952 in Hamburg. |
| 4 | She wanted to start a family, but Lamac did not want to marry. So, after a three-year romance, on 6 July 1933 Ondra married German boxer Max Schmeling, with whom she appeared in the film Knock-out (1935). Their marriage was a happy one, although childless. |
| 5 | Ondra miscarried after a car accident in 1936 and could no longer have children. |
| 6 | Since 1919 she worked together with director Karel Lamac most of the time and with the movie "Gilly po prve v Praze - Gilly zum ersten Mal in Prag" (1920) she became established as a European star. |
| 7 | Together with Karel Lamac she founded her own film company in 1930 and produced movies in Germany. She especially concentrated to operetta movies. |
| 8 | Ondra was portrayed by Britt Ekland in the television movie Ring of Passion (1978), wherein the character was named "Amy Ondra Schmeling". She was also portrayed by Peta Wilson in the historical boxing docudrama Joe and Max (2002). |
| 9 | Brave Max Schmeling refused to accept honors and even secretly helped to hide two Jewish children, saving their lives. In Nazi Germany it was a capital offense. Yet after the war, they got a big financial penalty for collaboration, and in the Czech Republic they issued an arrest warrant. That was the reason why he never visited the homeland of Anny Ondra. The Nazi propaganda won. |
| 10 | Ondra was buried in the Saint Andreas Friedhof cemetery in Hollenstedt, Germany. Her husband Max Schmeling died in 2005 and was buried next to her. The heritage of Anny and Max has been referred to Max-Schmeling-Stiftung foundation. |
| 11 | She was given the Honorary German Film Award in 1970. |
| 12 | Ondra was a graduate of the convent school and her father had for her a place government official. Anna decided otherwise, for a film career and began to live with Karel Lamac. "I swim like a fish, ride a cowboy, and I would do it all in the film applied," summarized the nineteen-year-old lady of her education. |
| 13 | After the war she and her husband were left without funds and assets. In 1949 they moved to Hollenstedt near Hamburg and her husband started their business on their land. Later Max Schmeling begun working for The Coca-Cola Company. |
| 14 | The actress Anny Ondra was mainly engaged in the Czech silent movies, in the middle of the 20's she also appeared often in German productions. |
| 15 | In 1929 she played in the movies "The Manxman" and "Blackmail - Erpressung", both directed by Alfred Hitchcock. |
| 16 | German fascists were trying throughout the marriage Ondra - Schmeling to exploit their fame and popularity. Often were seen their photos with Goebbels and Hitler - Max as a German superman and Anny such blond Aryan (Max was heavyweight champion of the world between 1930 and 1932). But they never collaborated. |
| 17 | In 1933 she got married with the famous boxer Max Schmeling, with whom she also appeared in the movie "Knock-out" (1935). The marriage lasted till her death. |
| 18 | At seventeen she played in the theater and was acting in her first film. The film was directed by her boyfriend, director Karel Lamac (Karell Lamatch). When her family heard of it, they had a shouting match in which the teenager got a beating from her father - to be an actress, after the First World War, was socially almost at the level of a beggar. |
| 19 | When her husband, German boxer Max Schmeling, was defeated by American fighter Joe Louis, Nazi propaganda minister Dr. Joseph Goebbels sent a comforting telegram to him and a bunch of flowers to her. |
