Kruger, Diane

German-born actress Diane Kruger plays the fictional German silver screen star Bridget von Hammersmark in Tarantino's World War II film. "Inglourious Basterds" isn't the first WWII movie she's been offered, but it is the first one she accepted.

The cast of Warner Bros Pictures' "Unknown" - Liam Neeson, January Jones, Diane Kruger and Aidan Quinn - were joined on the red carpet at the world premiere by producer Joel Silver to talk about the twisted thriller.

Eli Roth, Diane Kruger, and Christoph Waltz had just picked up the Best Ensemble award for "Inglourious Basterds" at the Critics' Choice Awards the night before they hit the red carpet at the BAFTA/LA Awards Season Tea Party to chat up the film.

Diane Kruger says getting back into character for the sequel to "National Treasure," "National Treasure: Book of Secrets," was a snap. Part of the reason why it was so easy to slip back into the role of Abigail Chase was because the cast and filmmakers had stayed in touch for the three years in between films.

When the "Wicker Park" filmmakers were looking for an actress to play Josh Hartnett’s character’s true love, they had the foresight to cast Diane Kruger. According to producer Gary Lucchesi, Kruger’s actor/director husband Guillaume Canet made an audition tape of her, which sold the producers and director Paul McGuigan on the actress.
