Meet Juliane Köhler (born Aug 6, 1965), a German actress. Born in Göttingen to a puppeteer, she trained under Uta Hagen in NYC from ’85-’88 and hit up HB Acting Studio. She also got some ballet skills in Munich.

Since her debut at Hanover’s Lower Saxon State Theatre in ’88, she’s been a regular in German theatre, rockin’ stages like the Bavarian State Theatre from ’93-’97. She dipped from the crew when filming Aimée & Jaguar clashed with rehearsals for Das Käthchen von Heilbronn, but later slid back to Munich to vibe with the Munich Kammerspiele.

She’s starred in big flicks like Aimée & Jaguar (1999) as Lilly Wust, Nowhere in Africa (2001) as Jettel Redlich, Downfall (2004) as Eva Braun, Haber (2008) as Clara, and Eden Is West (2009) as Christina. Plus, she lit up Two Lives (2012) as Katrine Evensen Myrdal.
