Notes:

Known as Anita Bild - was she married previously?

The Viennese dancer Anita Bild fled to England in early 1939 on a housemaid visa, where she was able to perform again thanks to a sham marriage. She organized the emigration of her parents to London, who were accommodated in a refugee home whose manager Fritz Bild she later married. She became known as ?Anita Douglas ? The Viennese Nightingale? and later on the BBC. Anita Bild wrote her memoirs for her family in 1991. The memoirs are accompanied by scientific articles by renowned experts. They contextualize the dance career before and in exile, the situation of domestic workers in England and Anita Bild's marriage of convenience and draw biographical sketches of Anita's father, the lawyer Georg Lelewer, the musician Franz Eugen Klein and her fake husband Donald Douglas.

Died:
Her memoirs were posthumously published in 2018 as A Cherry Dress. She was 75.
