Her career started in 1973 when she landed a recurring role in the children’s series “Dusty’s Treehouse”, and after that joined the comedy troupe The Groundlings, but it wasn’t until the early ‘90s that she came to prominence, despite securing various roles in a number of TV series and films. Her first notable role was as Frau Farbissina in the comedy film “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery”, a role repeated in the sequels “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me” (1999), and “Austin Powers in Goldmember” (2002), which increased her wealth to a large degree.
