Nora Gregor was born February 3, 1901, in Austria-Hungary. The lady led an interesting life. May I heartedly suggest reading the biography included on IMDB (mostly under Trivia), as well as Wikipedia's entry on her second Husband Prince Ernst Starhemberg. Way too complex a life to condense to fit in this post! It would make for a great movie, if they would only make those kinds of movie anymore.
But the Flesh is Evil (1932) was a failed attempt by Ms. Gregor to establish a movie career in Hollywood. Her thick Austrian accent and age (31, after all!) did not appeal to the American movie audience.
