Lissiak later appeared on stage in a rivista with Ugo Tognazzi and in several films alongside Vittorio Gassman, at the time her partner in life. Following the breakup of her relationship with Gassman, she decided to focus her activities on stage, where she knew her then husband, the actor Franco Castellani. She retired from acting in the early 1960s.
