Career

Around 1973, Sterling landed a recurring role on the syndicated children's series Dusty's Treehouse. She later joined the L.A.-based comedy troupe The Groundlings in the 1980s. From 1990 to 1991, she was one of the comedians in the satirical show On the Television. Despite having starred in numerous films in the 1980s and 1990s, it was her character Frau Farbissina, the diminutive and domineering Germanic cohort of Dr. Evil (Mike Myers) in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), that brought Sterling high praise for her work in films. In 1999, she starred in the sequel Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, and also appeared in Drop Dead Gorgeous.{{cite news |title=Austin Powers movie features Mindy Sterling |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/41449228/the_daily_advertiser/ |access-date=January 1, 2020 |work=The Daily Advertiser |agency=Associated Press |via=Newspapers.com |date=April 6, 1999 |page=4B}} {{free access}} and later reprised the character Frau Farbissina in Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002) for the third and final time.{{cite news |last1=Szymanski |first1=Mike |title=Mindy Sterling reprises role as Dr. Evil's love slave |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/41449183/the_daily_oklahoman/ |access-date=January 1, 2020 |work=The Oklahoman |via=Newspapers.com |date=July 26, 2002 |page=17}} {{free access}}
