As early as five years old, she performed at the Odeon hall in Munich and wowed the audience with her voice.

The song used Prell's unusual vocal range and decidedly un-beauty queen-like appearance to caricature the emerging beauty craze.

In 1956 and 1957, she appeared in films, such as in Marriages Forbidden as a carnival singer[2] and in Two Bavarians in the Harem as Leila, Rose of the Night.

The Munich City Museum has an exhibit in Prell's honor, with original items from her famous stage costume including the floral ruffle dress, beach umbrella, fingerless gloves, beauty crown, and the white-blue scarves imprinted with "Miss Schneizlreuthn".

[3] A fountain in her honor, designed by Wolfgang Sand, was erected in 1992 in front of her house in the Leopoldstraße.
