Live and act

Bredin became known to a wider audience in 1957 when she took part in the British preliminary decision for the Eurovision Song Contest . Although she did not take part in the semi-finals, she, like Malcolm Lockyer , was allowed to sing a version of the song All chosen for the finals , which emerged as the winning title. In a separate vote, a jury selected her to be the first British representative in the competition. At the Eurovision Song Contest in 1957 in Frankfurt am Main , she came seventh among ten participants with a total of six points. The song, composed by Reynell Wreford and texted by Alan Stranks, was never released as a single. Until the contest in 2015 , the song was the shortest entry in the Eurovision Song Contest at just under two minutes.

In 1959 she played in the film comedy Left, Right & Center alongside Ian Carmichael . The following year she played a leading role in the adventure film The Treasure of Monte Christo . Other roles in films and television series followed. After their wedding, she moved to Canada where she started writing books. She had success with the novel My fling on the farm . She still performs as a singer today.
