A French version of the film Je me souviens mieux quand je peins was released in September 2009 as part of the French Alzheimer Association's activities on World Alzheimer's Day. The film is co-directed by Berna Huebner and Eric Ellena. Extracts from the documentary were featured on the France 2 Telematin television program.

She was a marine artist who was selected to paint twelve murals for the U.S. Navy's exhibit in the Federal Building for the 1933–1934 International Exhibition Century of Progress, a World's Fair held in Chicago. Her frieze was composed of twelve murals depicting the influence of sea power on America, beginning with the settlement of Jamestown in 1607 when sea power first reached America and carrying through World War I.

A graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the early 1930s, she produced more than 1,500 artworks in about 70 years including paintings in oil and acrylic, watercolors, drawings and sculpture. Hilgos's pieces have been exhibited in cities across the United States and her artwork is part of private collections in the U.S. and abroad.

Hilda Goldblatt Gorenstein (1905–1998) was an American oil painter and watercolorist. A native of Montreal, Canada, who grew up in Portland, Oregon, U.S. Gorenstein started painting as a teenager at a time when women artists weren't very well received. A reflection of the times in which she lived, she signed her work "Hilgos", an androgynous professional working name. She was later the inspiration for the documentary film, I Remember Better When I Paint.
