Born in London, Huff was first known in Italy as a showgirl in the Rai 2 variety show Signori si parte and as the television presenter of the Canale 5 musical program Popcorn. She later had roles of weight in a series of successful teen comedy films, notably Carlo Vanzina's Time for Loving, its immediate sequel Sapore di mare 2 and Vacanze di Natale.

Following the failure of her marriage with an Italian land surveyor, Huff left showbusiness and returned with her son to London, where she became a teacher.
