## Biography

Diane Kruger is a German actress. Born Diane Heidkrüger on 15 July 1976 in Algermissen, Lower Saxony, she trained in ballet at the Royal Ballet School in London before an injury ended that path. She worked as a fashion model in Germany and France, then moved into acting, making her film debut in the early 2000s.

Kruger gained international recognition for her role as Helen in *Troy* (2004) and as Abigail Chase in *National Treasure* (2004) and its 2007 sequel. She portrayed Bridget von Hammersmark in Quentin Tarantino's *Inglourious Basterds* (2009). In 2017 she made her German-language debut in *In the Fade*, winning the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress. She also starred as Detective Sonya Cross in the series *The Bridge* (2013–14).
