She later studied at the Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna and played exclusively theater in her first years of work. Her first television work was in 1972 the role of a escapee from a welfare institution in the television series Der Kommissar (episode 51, escape routes ). For this acting achievement she was awarded the Golden Camera in 1972. However, it remained mainly associated with theaters such as the Berlin Schillertheater , the Freie Volksbühne in Berlin, the Münchner Kammerspiele or the Burgtheater in Vienna.

In 2002 she received various prizes, including the Adolf Grimme Prize with gold for her portrayal of Katia Mann in Heinrich Breloer's film Die Manns - A Century Novel . In October 2005 she received the German TV Prize in the category “Best Actress TV Film” for the film Maria's Last Journey . In May 2007 she was awarded the German Film Prize in the “Best Actress” category for her embodiment of Traude Krüger in 4 minutes .

Her relationship with the actor Hans Brenner comes from her son, the actor Moritz Bleibtreu . In the early 1980s she was married to the actor Hans Peter Korff for a few years .

On her 65th birthday on May 4, 2009, the television film Ein starker Abgang mit Bruno Ganz was repeated on ZDF . The actress lived in an apartment in Hamburg-St. George .

According to her agency, Monica Bleibtreu died on the night of May 13th to May 14th, 2009 after 2½ years of lung cancer in Hamburg. Her grave is in the Ohlsdorf cemetery (U7 362).
