Biografia

Has a binovular (fraternal) twin sister.

Resides in Hamburg, Germany.

In her acceptance speech at the 2004 Bambi Awards, she protested against the intense German media coverage of her past as a porn actress. She reproached the tabloids "Bild" and "Kölner Express" for "media rape".

She held various odd jobs--including a municipal waste department employee and a nightclub manager--before breaking into the film industry.
