I am from Germany, doctor of medicine, born 1964, and I know very well the German film serie "11 Uhr 20" from 1970 (once more on German TV in 1985), in which Donna Summer has a small role als a singing female dancer. So I have corrected the chapter "filmography" in this wiki-article.
Donna summer has a role as singing dancer in the German crime serie "11 Uhr 20", that is right. But she performs in the FIRST episode "Mord am Bosporus" (engl: Murder at bosphorus-side), NOT in the third episode "Tod in der Kasbah" (engl: Death in the kasbah). Accordingly, she was not dancer in a kasbah. She performed as dancer in an indecent bar in Istanbul, which in the film is owned by a criminal. The gag of the scene: While the innocent main actor (Hans-Joachim Fuchsberger) is fighting in the bar, handling a revolver, throwing chairs, the female dancer (Donna Summer) continues singing.

By the way, the German main actor Hans-Joachim Fuchsberger had the highest dregree in Judo, the fighting-scene, in which he overcomes 3 men, is very real. — Preceding

[18] Summer changed her first name from LaDonna to Donna as listed in one of these sources. I don’t really care if they are not or are reliable sources at all, even if they aren’t, it is not a good source for that info.

The page used the birth name LaDonna until
this edit earlier in 2023, which claimed that "Her own daughter, Brooklyn Sodano, found her mother's birth certificate. Her birth name was Donna; LaDonna was a family nickname. Sodano says the misunderstanding came from her mother's own book" - sourced from
this interview. Official Massachusetts birth records (primary sources) give the birth name Donna.

For our readers though, it's very misleading to have two sources, one in the lead sentence, and the other in the Early life section that explicitly state she was born LaDonna Andrea Gaines. There is no mention in the article, that I can find, to explain to our readers that LaDonna was a family nickname, or the misunderstanding came from her mother's own book.
