Heidi Brühl took dance lessons at the age of five. The producer and director Harald Braun recognized her talent and gave her a small role in the 1954 film The Last Summer as the little sister of the leading actress (played by Liselotte Pulver ).

They made the Immenhof films popular in Germany . In it she played the character of the young and fun-loving "Dalli" and sang the pony song (actually sung by the Schöneberg Boys' Choir ) in the film with the children from Malente (in Holstein Switzerland between Lübeck and Kiel ). The three films Die Mädels vom Immenhof (1955), Hochzeit auf Immenhof (1956) and Ferien auf Immenhof (1957) were a commercial success. Then Brühl decided to complete an apprenticeship. She studied singing and dance for five years, took acting lessons and was trained in English and French. In Die Zwillinge vom Immenhof (1973) and in Frühling auf Immenhof (1974) she again embodied the figure Dalli, who has now been promoted to Immenhof owner . Her partner was Horst Janson .

Her last film roles included appearances in the German television series Ein Fall für Zwei , Praxis Bülowbogen (both 1987) and Zwei Schlitzohren in Antalya (broadcast in 1991). In 1991, Brühl took on the role of Buhlschaft at the Berliner Jedermann Festival , but she was only able to take part in the first rehearsals.

singer

In 1959 Brühl's father sent his daughter's demo tape to the record company Philips , which, after further test recordings, signed a record deal with her. At first she was marketed together with Corina Corten as the Dolly Sisters . As early as August 1959, Brühl's first solo record Chico Chico Charlie hit the German charts, where it rose to fifth place. By 1967 she was able to place twelve more titles in the German hit lists.

Heidi Brühl achieved her greatest success with the title We never want to go apart by Michael Jary with a text by Bruno Balz and Gloria de Vos - former wife and assistant to the magician Kalanag . With this song she appeared in the Schlagerparade , the German preliminary decision for the Grand Prix Eurovision 1960 , but only landed in second place behind Wyn Hoop . She represented Germany at the Grand Prix Eurovision in 1963 and took 9th place with the title Marcel by Charly Niessen .

In the following years she devoted herself to the musical . She played and sang mainly in Annie Get Your Gun by Irving Berlin . In the 1980s she founded her own music publishing company and also worked as a producer. A widely acclaimed comeback as a singer celebrated Brühl when she published in 1981 and 1982 two singles in the English language in disco music style ( You Are A Part Of My Heart and No Ties No Tears ), with whom they in the prestigious TV music show music store occurred .
