She was only 22 at the time. Her song, All, held the record for shortest song to enter the Eurovision Song Contest for many years. It came in 7th place, out of 10 songs.

Reflecting on her Eurovision appearance in a BBC interview, she said: "Two songs had been chosen and each one had to be sung by two different performers, but they had a problem because nobody wanted to sing that terrible little song called All."

She later went on to perform in the West End musical Free as Air, which has never been revived. She also briefly played Guinevere in the musical Camelot, taking over from Julie Andrews. She stopped acting some time after that, marrying a Canadian millionaire who died on their honeymoon.

Here she is on the British variety show Good Old Days in 1959.
