Cornelia Froboess (born October 28, 1943) is a German actress and a teen idol of the 1950s and early '60s.

During that time, Froboess appeared in many musical films, especially after the rock 'n' roll wave had hit Germany. In those comedy films, she would often portray the typical Berliner Göre (girl from Berlin) who craves for independence from her all-too-strict parents.

As Conny Froboess, she had her first hit in 1951, aged eight, 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. 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 1962 Froboess finished in sixth place at the Eurovision Song Contest, where she sang "Zwei kleine Italiener" ("Two Little Italians") for Germany. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
