Maybe collectable, maybe not.  You're right, she was on Hogan's Heroes.  
She's also credited with at least four movies and I'm virtually positive that 
she was in one of the early Bond flicks.

Not imprisoned, David.  Here's some info.:
 Born: 29 January 1942, Paris, France
 Pop culture remembers Claudine Longet for just two achievements: her
 co-starring role in the 1968 Peter Sellers vehicle The Party, and her
 starring role in the 1976 murder of professional skier Spider Sabich. Her
 past marriage to singer Andy Williams doesn't quite register-- after all,
 Williams is barely remembered himself beyond the cozy nostalgia of the
 Branson set. Meanwhile, Longet's vocal albums are so utterly forgotten
 that they've never appeared on CD (except in Japan, where "cute pop" is
 practically the national pastime), have rarely been anthologized and
 haven't even been compiled into a decent best-of disc.
 On Thursday, March 21, 1976, Spider Sabich was shot and killed in the
 bathroom of his Aspen, Colo., home. His live-in girlfriend, singer-actress
 Claudine Longet, was convicted of criminally negligent homicide, a
 misdemeanor.
