("Happiness is...") in the 1971 Eurovision Song Contest. She has received major acclaim through Norwegian awards. Among them are numerous Spellemann (Norwegian Grammy) including the Honorary Award, and the Peer Gynt Prize, which is awarded by members of the Parliament to those Norwegians who have done the most to gain Norway's reputation abroad. In addition to her own projects, she is also frequently asked to act as MC at conventions, often in relation to female entrepreneurship.
In 2012, she toured Norway with two major sold-out shows that she had written and directed. She also made numerous television appearances.
