The German actress gained recognition for winning Adolf Grimme Awards for her performances in the films Something to Remind Me and Wolfsburg, both of which were directed by Christian Petzold. In addition to her work in film, she has built a strong reputation as a theatre actress, having performed at Berlin’s prestigious Deutsches Theater from 1998 all the way through to 2013.
Long before she became a well-known figure in the entertainment world, she was born in Stuttgart and began her journey into acting at a very young age—by just seven years old, she was already involved in radio plays. Her passion for the stage led her to make her official stage debut when she was only 14.
On a personal note, her father, Willi Hoss, is a prominent German politician, while her mother, Heidemarie Rohwede, is also a respected theatre actress. Growing up in such a culturally rich environment likely played a significant role in shaping her artistic path and eventual success.
She was appointed as a Goodwill Ambassador for the Brazilian state of Para, a role in which she actively works to combat the ongoing destruction of the Amazon rainforest.
