Eleanor and Karla Gutöhrlein


Eleanor and Karla Gutöhrlein were German-born sisters who danced and acted together in several 1930s films. They were sometimes billed as "The Sisters G".
The sisters were born in Germany as Eleanor and Karla Knospe. Eleanor and Karla differed more than a year in age, but were often thought to be twins. They were famous for performing together, for having bobbed haircuts, and for their dancing and acting skills. They performed in several American films including the King of Jazz, Recaptured Love and God's Gift to Women.
The sisters moved to Sweden. Eleanor Helene Emma Knospe married the bank director Gösta Lennart Brynolf and died on June 7, 1997 in Vasa, Sweden. Karla Knospe married Per Oskar Olof Åberg in 1936.
