...And who would play Nora in her movie?

 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.
