Overview

  • Bio

    BIOGRAPHY: I was born in 1971 as the 3rd child of a lovara-tribe-gypsy mother and a german-american father. In the early 90ies i worked in several bands (thats where i wrote my infamously famous song "Cop Killah" in 1994).. in 1997 a guy who saw one of our shows asked me to act in one of his movies and i agreed, so i acted for the very first time in 1998 .. then the offers kept coming and here i am now .. all in all i appeared in like 30 movies up to now (including documentaries and those movies where i played myself ..cameos and stuff) .. i guess the most famous movie i ve been in was Jean Pierre Jeunet's "Amelie" a.k.a "The fabulous destiny of Amelie Poulain" .. that flick was even nominated for some Academy Awards/Oscars .. well i wasn't though.. the most notorious films i was in were Marian Dora's "Cannibal" and Timo Rose's "Barricade" .. but hell you bet i ll come up with some more stuff ... you ll see ... Besides acting i write movie-stories and co-write the screenplays as well as currently working on music projects with my band "CYANIDE SAVIOR" after,in the early 90ies, i was "discovered" (shitty expression huh?) by producer Joerg Pasler who got interested in me for my ..as he puts it .."haunting, sometimes hoarse voice, her disturbing and often violent lyrics and her way of interpreting songs." .. well thats it for now ... dunno what else to tell ya .. so for now ...have a good one .. and yes i ve become well known for playing villains which made me kinda typecast ..but hey i can play other kinds of roles too !!
