- After the war, she and her husband were left without funds or assets. In 1949 they moved to Hollenstedt near Hamburg, where her husband started their business on land they owned. Later, Max Schmeling begun working for the Coca-Cola Company.
- Brave Max Schmeling refused to accept Nazi honors and even secretly helped to hide two Jewish children, saving their lives. In Nazi Germany, this was a capital offense. After the war, they were penalized financially and an arrest warrant was issued for them in the Czech Republic. That was the reason why Schmeling never visited the homeland of Anny Ondra. The Nazi propaganda won.
- An amusing test film has survived of Hitchcock "interviewing" Ondra, in which the director teases the actress and asks her some personal questions.
- 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 as the Max-Schmeling-Stiftung Foundation.
- In 1929 she played in the movies "The Manxman" and "Blackmail - Erpressung", both directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
- 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).
- 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.
- In the early 1920s, Anny Ondra appeared primarily in Czech silent movies. In the mid '20s, she also appeared often in German productions.
- Ondra was a graduate of the convent school, and so her father found for her an official government position. But Anna decided otherwise, opting for a film career, and began to live with Karel Lamac. "I swim like a fish, ride like a cowboy, and I would do it all if the film required it," summarized the nineteen-year-old lady.
- 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 Knockout (1935). Their marriage was a happy one, although childless.
- 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.
- In 1933 she married the famous boxer Max Schmeling, with whom she also appeared in the movie "Knock-out" (1935). The marriage lasted till her death.
- 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.
- From 1919 she worked primarily with director Karel Lamac. With the movie "Gilly po prve v Praze - Gilly zum ersten Mal in Prag" (1920) she became established as a European star.
- Ondra miscarried after a car accident in 1936 and could no longer have children.
- Lamac remained her friend for a lifetime. He died in her arms in 1952 in Hamburg.
- She was given the Honorary German Film Award in 1970.
- After the Ondra-Schmeling marriage, German fascists continually tried to exploit their fame and popularity. Often they were seen in photos with Goebbels and Hitler--Max as a German superman and Anny as a blond Aryan (Max was heavyweight champion of the world between 1930 and 1932). But they never collaborated.
- Together with Karel Lamac she founded her own film company in 1930 and produced movies in Germany. She especially concentrated on operetta movies.
