Cynthia Lynn was the original Helda on the television program Hogans Heroes in the sixties. I was reading the other day the actress that was dumped by producers of this program died in March at the age of seventy six with little fan fare or discussion to why she was out after one season. She played the role admiringly and really didn't deserve the role being taken away from her after winning it the previous year in what must of been competitive auditions for this only female spot on the program. I think it is obviously because Bob Cane wanted the woman he was porking and who wold eventually marry to replace her and read her for her services to him. Cynthia Lynn did a great job as Colonel Klink's secretary for this program in 1965 in the first season. The reasoning is often claimed that they wanted someone who sounded more foreign as the actress who played Helda after season one had an accent that was suppose to be German. She clearly was a inferior actress in her role and if not for the fact that she was Bob Cranes bitch there is little doubt she would of ever be given the role. This has to be televisions worse and most flagrant biased moves depriving Ms Lynn her rightful role as Helda on Hogans Heroes. Not that this really mattered as the role of Klink 's secretary was a very minor role often getting two or more lines an episode. A shame. Cynthia Lynn dead at the age of seventy six
