After a brief activity as an actress in Halberstadt, Gisela Bestehorn got a job in 1950 at the Volksbühne (Städtisches Theater, Bosestrasse) in Leipzig, to which she belonged until 1966. Then she moved to the local theater.

In 1966 she became the second wife of Erich-Alexander Winds , who was chief director at the German State Opera in Berlin.
