Even before 1989 she became known in the Federal Republic of Germany when the singer Lonnie (alias: the former RIAS employee Klaus Heilbronner) dedicated the song Angelika from television in the GDR to her. It took several months until Unterlauf was able to refute the Stasi accusation of having a relationship with Heilbronner.
