From the mid-1980s onward, she increasingly worked in film and television, becoming particularly well known as a distinctive character actress in numerous German productions. She frequently portrayed everyday figures—such as landladies, shop assistants, nurses, or office workers—imbuing them with a high degree of memorability through her characteristic appearance and voice.

Furthermore, she appeared in numerous television series, including *Tatort*, *Ritas Welt*, *Die Pfefferkörner*, *Der Landarzt*, *Notruf Hafenkante*, *SOKO Wismar*, *Sesamstraße*, and *Großstadtrevier*. From 2013 to 2015, she was a member of the main cast of the ZDF series *Kripo Holstein*, playing the role of snack-bar owner Heidi Lürsen.
