In 1929 she debuted at the Schiller-Theater in Altona as Maria Stuart.

After two years at the Deutschen Schauspielhaus in Hamburg Gustaf Gründgens contracted her for the Preußischen Staatstheater in Berlin where she worked until 1939. She also started a movie career and immediately had major parts. In "Geheimzeichen L-B-17" (1938) she was also singing and dancing.

From her relationship with the actor Lothar Müthel a daughter was born in 1935, Viola. In 1944 her first husband, the composer Peter Holm, was killed in the war. They had a son, Rolf Dieter, born in 1941. In 1949 she was married to the journalist Gerd Ribatis for a short time.

After the war she hardly appeared in the movies anymore and she returned to the Deutschen Schauspielhaus in Hamburg. In 1950 she opened a fashion salon. She continued her acting career and often appeared on television. In 1962 she became a professor at the Mozarteum in Salzburg where she directed the Schauspielseminar until 1973. In 1974 she was in the very first episode of the famous German crime series "Derrick".
