Viene scoperta dopo poco anche dalla critica, vincendo l'Orso d'Argento per la migliore attrice al Festival di Berlino nel 1956 grazie all'interpretazione nel film Donatella di Mario Monicelli. Ha lavorato con molti registi importanti dall'Italia, alla Francia, agli Stati Uniti, come Orson Welles o Howard Hawks, ed accanto a grandi attori come Marcello Mastroianni o John Wayne o Robert Mitchum.
