She began her music career at the age of 13 when she won a talent contest staged by a Norwegian newspaper after which she became the first artist to have three songs in the Top 10 at the same time and three years later secured her first film role. She attempted to represent her home country in 1964 and 1966 respectively but failed to be selected both times. However, two years later she decided to represent Germany and finished in 6th place overall.
