Film

In 1953, Sebaldt made her film debut alongside Rudolf Prack in When Village Music Plays on Sunday Evening. Since then, film and television have been her artistic focus. She played in music films like Der Zigeunerbaron, dramas like Anastasia, the last daughter of the Tsar (with Lilli Palmer in the title role), comedies like Helmut Käutner's engagement in Zurich (with Lilo Pulver) and father, mother and nine children (with Heinz Erhardt), crime fiction like The Black Sheep after Gilbert Keith Chesterton (with Heinz Rühmann as Father Brown), and the gangster movie parody Oops, here's Eddie! (with Eddie Constantine ), westerns[4] like Die Gejagt der Sierra Nevada and literary adaptations like Alfred Weidenmann's two-parter based on Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks (with Hansjörg Felmy) and Helmut Käutner's adaptation of Carl Zuckmayer's Hauptmann von Köpenick. She often embodied sympathetic characters, but also cunning gangsters such as Virginia Peng in the real-life version of Manfred Schmidt's popular comic series Nick Knatterton.

Television

Sebaldt also became popular through her roles in series such as I marry a family or as the caring Hannelore Wichert, which she embodied in the ZDF series The Wicherts from next door between 1986 and 1991. In addition, she had numerous guest appearances in series such as Tatort, Das Traumschiff, Der Kommissar, Derrick and Der Alte.
