Her life

After leaving school, Corny Collins completed an apprenticeship as a medical assistant. Günter Pfitzmann discovered her at a theater doctor for the cabaret. There she performed with Wolfgang Neuss and Ursula Herking. In order to advance professionally, she took acting lessons. She made her first theater appearance in the play Ein Tag im siebten Himmel. The director and actor Axel von Ambesser noticed her talent and hired her in 1957 for a role in the film Die Freundin meines Mannes, together with Peter Kraus. Although Corny Collins was now already 25 years old, she continued to play teenage roles in films. As a voice actress, she lent her voice to Ruby Dee and Marion Ross in the family series Happy Days, among others.
From the mid-1960s, she was increasingly seen in television productions. She made her last film, Journey of No Return, in 1989, after which she only appeared on stage.
