In 1976, she took part in her first film, The Nude Princess by Cesare Canevari, inspired by the life of Princess Elizabeth of Tooro. She worked with many genre directors such as Bruno Mattei and Jesús Franco, in erotic and later pornographic films. Many of her Italian films were shot in two versions, one censored for the national market, a more explicit one for the foreign market.
