She was reared in South Africa, where her family emigrated after World War II. Prowse was born in Bombay, India and reared in South Africa. She began studying dance at the age of four. In her early twenties she was dancing at a club in Paris when she was spotted by a talent agent and eventually signed to play the part of Claudine in the 1960 Walter Lang film, Can-Can.
