Uhlen began her acting career by doing acting spots in commercials as a child, and appeared in her first film at age 9. As a child, she changed schools each year, as her mother constantly had to relocate to keep up with acting commitments. In 1981 she met actor Herbert Herrmann, with whom she would have a thirteen-year relationship, producing one child.
She has starred in numerous successful German television series, which she continues to do today, along with many film and theater appearances.
