Born and raised in Germany, Diane Kruger studied in London with the Royal Ballet before an injury forced her to abandon her dance career.
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.
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 Hartnetts characters true love, they had the foresight to cast Diane Kruger. According to producer Gary Lucchesi, Krugers actor/director husband Guillaume Canet made an audition tape of her, which sold the producers and director Paul McGuigan on the actress.
