Cornelia Froboess (*28 Oct 1943 in Wriezen) is a German actress and a teen idol of the ‘50s and ‘60s. She appeared in many musical films, especially after the rock & roll wave had hit Germany. In comedy films, she would often portray the typical Berliner Göre (brat from Berlin) who craves independence from her strict parents. As Die Kleine Cornelia she had her first hit in 1951, aged 8, with a song written by her father. "Pack die Badehose ein" (Pack your swimsuit") is a cheery tune about a group of children going swimming on a hot summer's day at the Wannsee in Berlin. The title of the song has become a set phrase and synonym for going swimming, easily recognized even by speakers of German who have never heard of the song. In the 60s, Froboess finished in 6th place at the Eurovision Song Contest, where she sang "Zwei kleine Italiener" (Two little Italians). It sold over 1 million copies. Later, she became a theater and movie actress. In 1982, she appeared in Rainer Werner Fassbinder's film Veronika Voss. In 1988 she played in Goethe's Faust I, a performance that was also released as a film: Faust – Vom Himmel durch die Welt zur Hölle. In 1997, she played the mother of the protagonist Martin Brest (Til Schweiger) in the film Knockin' on Heaven's Door. She also is a stage actress playing in theaters.
