Platinum blonde, mature-looking, curvaceous Danish beauty contest winner (Miss Denmark of 1952), who came to Hollywood in the 1950s and, with her enviable figure and breathless delivery of lines, became a sort of Danish Jayne Mansfield.

In Hollywood, she was seen in Bus Stop (1956), Accused of Murder (1957), The Beast of Budapest (1958), Terror is a Man (1959), Three Blondes in His Life (1961), Journey to the Seventh Planet (1962), The Double-Barrelled Detective Story (1965) and Cottonpickin' Chickenpickers (1967), her last.
