The daughter of a Chinese diplomat father and a German mother, she had some cachet as an "exotic" starlet in the 1950s and '60s. She appeared in supporting parts in lower budget U.S. and foreign movies, as well as some television shows.
Even though she had only one starring role in the movie Lisette (Fall Girl) in 1961 with John Agar, she is best known for her role as Ling-Ling - a Siamese cat transformed into a human by Samantha Stephens in an early episode of Bewitched.
She was also an exclusive model in the early '60s, traveling between Europe and the U.S.
One of her well known dates in the business was the actor Gardner McKay.
She is still acting, currently living in Lucerne, Switzerland, where she has spent most of her life. She got married and her name changed to Greta Maxwell.
Her father founded a Chinese restaurant named Li Tai Pe, which actually became very popular among arts, cinema and theatre personalities in all Switzerland.
After her parents death, she became the owner and manager of this famous restaurant.
