Her movies made Sissi more famous, specially out of Europe

Indeed. Many people name their daughters Sisi...at least nicknames.

Did you know that Karlheiz Böhm's eldest daughter is nicknamed Sissi? But her real name is Beatrix Draga Marie Therese. (Karlheiz Böhm played Franz Joseph in the Sissi movies).
Ich aber breite trauernd aus
die weiten weissen Schwingen,
Und kehr' ins Feenreich nach Haus -
Nichts soll mich wieder bringen.

Another question.... how did she meet him? I'd like to hear more about it.

I don't see the relationship between her real name and her nickname, I just saw a model
that her real name is Isabel (well Elizabeth, she is from Cuba) and is nicknamed "Sissi", as a name
I saw it on a person one day, I'm sure that her parents loved Romy's movies :-S

They are favourites of many people. I got the box set to enjoy during Christmas.

Most German books did not go into great detail about the relationship but just reported it in their books. The TNT family is justified in not offering more detail on the subject.

I am not certain about where I read this, but I seem to remember her nickname was Liesl, I have an aunt called Sisi, but only because she was the olderst sister (sister/sissi)......
I guess the Sissi Trilogy started it all.......

Is a pity, really isn't a famous fact about Helene, or I really haven't heard about this story of love.
I'm sure that she felt alone after the death of her husband

Well, here in Mexico Sissi isn't a famous person, but days ago I saw a reporter named Sissi, I'm
sure that her parents felt inspired with Romy's movies

Yes. The Romy movies started the craze for Sisi again.

Yes. I read that even though Nene was married to Max (of Thurn & Taxis), she felt the urge for another man, it filled her with dread on sin. I am sure Ludovika would not have been pleased and doubt she told her mother about the attraction.

The most representative actress as Sissi is Romy, their movies became sooo popular even
out of Europe, but Sissi herself could be so representative too in her time

I don't think that Helene could mention neither half a word of it to her mother Ludovika, but
in fact Sissi's sisters have this kind of affairs (Marie, Mathilde, Sophie.... and even Nene) and
it wasn't very good accepted, less in the days of the Victorian strict and conservative mind
