Sabine Bethmann almost became an international star. She was slated by Kirk Douglas to co-star as Varinia in his epic blockbuster Spartacus (1960). However, when director Anthony Mann was unceremoniously replaced with Stanley Kubrick, it was Jean Simmons who was preferred for the part. Sabine's career never quite recovered from this setback.

Bethmann was born and spent her childhood in Tilsit, East Prussia. After schooling, she qualified as a physiotherapist and earned extra money on the side as a photographic model. At age 24, the attractive blonde was discovered for the screen and made her debut as star of the romantic drama Waldwinter (1956), directed by Wolfgang Liebeneiner. Her girl-next-door appeal gained her almost instant popularity. As a result, Bethmann was given leads or second leads in a string of major cinematic releases: the U-Boat drama Haie und kleine Fische (1957) (as a commodore's wife), Fritz Lang's lavish remakes of The Tiger of Eschnapur (1959) and The Indian Tomb (1959) (an architect's wife) and the medical drama Frauenarzt Dr. Sibelius (1962) (as an obstetric nurse). Bethmann typically played altruistic wives or lovers whose self-sacrifice would be rewarded at the end of the day.

By the mid 60s, the more unambitious roles which had hitherto been her bread and butter (namely the rustic Heimatfilm romances and the 'Pauker' school farces) had greatly diminished in popularity. With fewer movie offers forthcoming, Bethmann turned to television. Her final starring fling was as secretary to a private eye in Cliff Dexter (1966), a popular but short-lived James Bond pastiche. By the 1970s, her screen appearances became more and more sporadic. By the time she was in her sixtieth year, Sabine Bethmann had retired from acting. She lived the rest of her life in Berlin in relative obscurity until her death in November 2021.
