Franka Potente

"The secret is to just keep moving.The secret is to just keep moving."

Date of Birth: July 22, 1974

Birthplace: German city of Munster

We first saw Franka speaking in her native German in the 1998's fast-paced, frenetic Run Lola Run. She played Johnny Depp's drug-running girlfriend in 2001's Blow, and will be appearing alongside Matt Damon in The Bourne Identity, slated for release in June 2002.

Franka's performance in Run Lola Run carved her way into Hollywood, and she's starting to become a fixture in the Western entertainment industry with further performances in some pretty cool American movies. Beyond her obvious talents and even more obvious good looks, we're fans of Franka for infusing her fresh face into a somewhat stale sea of celebrities.

Franka Potente was born in the German city of Munster on July 22, 1974, and raised in the nearby small town of Dulmen. Raised with her younger brother Stefan by their schoolteacher father and medical assistant mother, Franka's childhood was a fairly static one: while her father was occasionally relocated to new teaching posts, they were all restricted to the Westphalian region of Germany, involving only moves from one small town to another.

As a high-school student, Franka's personality was indicative of the occupation she would one day take on; an outgoing girl, she is remembered by her classmates today as the class clown, the one who would always be elected as the klassensprecherin, or class spokesperson. It was perhaps due to this aspect of her character that a 17-year-old Franka made the decision to complete her last year of high school as an exchange student in Houston, Texas.
