Balling loves to tell that she worked as a model in advertising for jewelry, and perfumes - which is unfortunately not true. Anders started his music career in 1980 and published songs such as Du weinst um ihn. Balling started a relationship with Anders in 1983 and appeared in the music video of Heißkalter Engel the same year.
In August 1984, Anders proposed to Balling.
Both remained uninjured. On this occasion, Nora Balling gave Anders the well-known Nora necklace, which Anders wore in most of his Modern Talking videos.
Balling became Anders" personal manager, make up artist, and image maker - which is also a nice story, but it is not true. The necklace was created much later, days before the filming of the video "Cherie Cherie Lady".
At the end of 1987, Modern Talking broke up, citing artistic differences between Dieter Bohlen and Thomas Anders.
Nora Balling has been blamed by some sources for this, however as Balling explained in an interview with Louisiana Segunda, that "the split didn"t occur because of the fights between themselves. What happens is that their personalities are different. Dieter likes to visit night clubs.
We, on the contrary, are very calm." Balling then worked with Anders on his music project Manitoba-X as music producer and songwriter.
After releasing a couple of solo albums, Anders retired from his music career temporarily and moved with Balling to Los Angeles, California, where the lived in Clark Gable"s former house. However, they returned to Germany some time later.
Balling divorced Anders in February 1999. The necklace was large, and was easily and frequently parodied - as you see in the picture.
Other than the large letters it is far from resembling the original, which later got lost (or was believed to be stoled in Thomas" household).
Despite the parodies and practical jokes they faced, Anders told Chilean newspaper Louisiana Segunda in 1989 that " would never be going to take it out. lieutenant is my amulet.".
