Conny Froboess had her first hit record in 1951, aged eight, with a song written by her father. "Pack die Badehose ein" ("Pack Your Swimsuit") is a cheery tune about a group of children going swimming on a hot summer's day at the Wannsee. The title of the song has become a set phrase and synonym for going swimming easily recognized even by speakers of German who have never heard of the song.
In 1962 Froboess finished in sixth place at the Eurovision Song Contest, where she sang "Zwei kleine Italiener" ("Two Little Italians") for Germany. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.[1] The same year she appeared as herself in Jean Renoir's comedy film The Elusive Corporal.
Later Froboess became a theatre and movie actress. In 1982 she appeared in Rainer Werner Fassbinder's film Veronika Voss. In 1988 she played Marthe Schwerdtlein in Goethe's Faust I, a performance that was also released as film: Faust – Vom Himmel durch die Welt zur Hölle. In 1997 Froboess played the mother of the protagonist Martin Brest (Til Schweiger) in the film Knockin' on Heaven's Door. On stage, she appeared in Lessing's Minna von Barnhelm in 1976, staged by Dieter Dorn.[2] and played Ellida in Ibsen's The Lady from the Sea in 1990.[3] At the Salzburg Festival 2004 she played Mary Tyrone in Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night[4]. The same year she played the title role in Bertolt Brecht's play Mother Courage and Her Children.
