Trivia

Lives in her mansion on Lake Geneva, Switzerland.

Although being considered to play leading roles in Ben-Hur (1959) and El Cid (1961), she had to reject those offers because she had already signed for other projects in Germany (i. e. Gustav Adolfs Page (1960)). She later said they were the two biggest disappointments in her career.

She and her husband, Helmut Schmid, had two children: a son Marc-Tell Schmid (b.1962) and a daughter Melisande Schmid (b.1967-d.1989, who committed suicide at age 22).

As her roles on Ich denke oft an Piroschka (1955) and Das Wirtshaus im Spessart (1958) made her very popular in Germany, she was type-cast as a funny, tomboyish woman, although she wanted to play a sex bomb more often.

Member of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival in 1961

She was considered for the part of Josépha Cruchot in The Gendarme Gets Married (1968), eventually played by Claude Gensac.

After attending acting lessons at the Conservatory in Berne, she made her stage debut at the local Stadttheater.

She was cast in The V.I.P.s (1963), but had to drop out of the project due to a commitment in Germany. She was replaced by Maggie Smith.

Named after Liselotte, Princess Palatine.
