- After the dead of her husband in 1957 she withdrew more or less from the film and theater business. She only appeared in few productions like "Ingeborg" (1960), "Geisterkomödie" (1965) and "Frühling in Baden-Baden" (1967).
- She remained true to the entertainment movies till the end of the war and she amused the audience with appearances in "Ihr Privatsekretär" (1940), "Das Fräulein von Barnhelm" (1940), "Immer nur Du" (1941), "Johann" (1942) and "Freitag, der 13." (1944).
- She continued her theater career after the war, the film itself recovered from the effects of the war only at the end of the 40's and offered Fita Benkhoff regular roles from 1948.
- She came relative late to the film business when she went beyond thirty. But the film business seemed properly to wait to her and she was engaged for normally funny roles for countless movies in the 30's.
- She made her stage debut in 1925 at the Stadttheater Dortmund, afterwards followed engagements in Lübeck and Düsseldorf.
