DB was born into the circus dynasty Benneweis. Her biological parents were quite young when they got her, and she was as a newborn adoption out. The then head of Circus Benneweis? Irene B. did overturned adoption with regard to the parents' young age and adopted self-DB, which at that time was two weeks old. During her upbringing was, however, Irene Bs plejesøn, cirkusdirektør? Eli B. and his wife Eva, who came to act as her parents, hot assisted by Irene B. Eli and Eva B. was himself childless.

DB acted from the age of three with smånumre, but basically it was Eli Bs position that children belonged in the gallery, not in MANAGERIAL. The training, she underwent either did most of the game, and riding was her favorite field. Its real debut as independent artist, she got at age 14 in the season in 1962, where she showed freedom dressage with Arab thoroughbred horses together with the Austrian artists and W. D. Kossmayer. As early as 11-year-old she had taken her fiancé later Claus Jespersen. The son of a colonel at Garderhusarregimentet in Nagpur, he grew up with horses and was a skilled horseman and gymnast. He spent his summer vacation at the Circus Benneweis, and in his debut season in 1965 together with DB in a Spanish rideakt Fiesta in Seville. The year after the couple became engaged in a high media profile, and in MANAGERIAL showed the number Fantasy in white. It was the story about the circus princess and the knight on the white horse, but it was a mirage. Since Circus Benneweis in 1970 took over the building after Circus Circus Schumann, was paired for the dismantling of the program, while another branch of the circus was still on the road. The relationship between DB and her fiance were increasingly strained, and although the prestige reasons were put strong pressure on them, the relationship was dissolved in 1974. The 1979 season was DB and Claus Jespersen, however, at the head of the circus tours.

In 1985 Circus Benneweis committed to act in the Hungarian state circus in Budapest. Here, the DB Polish artist Marek Zielinski, who she married in 1986. That same year she appeared in an age of 39 years adoption of Eva and Eli B. The latter had chosen to DB as that would lead Circus Benneweis passed, and after his death in 1993 she became the season in 1994 at the head of the enterprise. Circus Benneweis operated by a company owned by a foundation where the other Benneweisfamilie represented. Since the DB would take over the leadership, she put a condition that she received a degree of self of decision. From the outset, it was her opinion that the circus will be operated with a firm hand, and that there must be no doubt about who is responsible. In her management style has been labeled the legacy of Eli B. Through the years has competed with Benneweis Circus Circus Arena on the prestige that is to be Scandinavia's biggest circus. Here, DB opted to go for quality rather than size, because Danish circus already has a substantial overcapacity in relation to the audience base. It makes circus vulnerable, and just one failed season can have fatal consequences. Nevertheless, DB denied aid on the grounds that the circus has traditionally been selvhjulpent, just as she did not want the interference that comes with support. In 1996, Circus Benneweis 120 people and had a total circulation of 6.2 million.
