She shared a few scenes with Montgomery Clift in what was his last movie, The Defector (L'espion), which was filmed in and centered on her homeland, Germany. Her German-born co-stars were Hardy Kruger and Macha Méril.

Her stock-in-trade were glamorous temptresses and shady ladies in thrillers and horror films, though she ultimately became best known for her leading role as the smoldering, seductive Gypsy girl who compels a naïve small town policeman to do her bidding, in Radley Metzger's erotic drama Carmen, Baby.

Initially trained in hotel management, Uta developed an interest in film and began working at Bavaria Studios as a bit player in the early sixties. Discovered by Austrian actress Maria Schell, she was encouraged to take on further drama studies which led to more substantial acting parts.
