In 1939, she made her film debut. In the 40's, she also worked as a teacher at the drama school of the Deutsches Theater in Berlin. In the post war period, she was member of a popular radio cabaret group in Berlin. When she was older, she gained more popularity. In the 1960s, when she was in her seventies, she became a famous character actress of West German cinema and television. She played mostly old ladies with charm and wit.
