  Franka Potente
Franka Potente was born on July 22, 1974, in Munster, and raised in the nearby town of Dülmen.
As a high-school student, Franka was an outgoing girl, she is remembered by her classmates today as the class clown, the one who would always be elected as the class spokesperson.
Franka's role was relatively short, but it caught the attention of American audiences, and gave Franka an opportunity to demonstrate her grasp of English.

 Franka Potente @ Filmbug
Franka Potente played roles in several German films before she gained worldwide recognition for her title role in Tom Tykwer's Run Lola Run, which won an Audience Award at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival and the Best Foreign Film award at the Independent Spirit Awards in 2000.
Potente was seen in Ted Demme's Blow, opposite Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz, and she also starred in the romantic thriller The Princess and the Warrior, which re-teamed her with writer/director Tykwer in the story of two outlaw lovers.
Potente, who was born in Münster, Germany, moved to Munich in 1974 to study drama at the Otto Falkenberg School and also studied at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in New York.

 SPLICEDwire | "The Princess and the Warrior" review (2001) Tom Tykwer, Franka Potente, Benno Furmann
The second collaboration between German writer-director Tom Tykwer and his muse, actress Franka Potente, "The Princess and the Warrior" couldn't be a further departure from "Run Lola Run," the influential and groundbreaking piece of kinetic, adrenaline-fueled pop cinema that put them both on the map.
Potente is almost unrecognizable in an incredibly visceral performance as Sissi, a meek, unstable, ingenuous woman-child who was raised by the staff at a psychiatric hospital after her mother, a resident nurse, was murdered by a patient when Sissi was a girl.
Potente's edge-of-instability performance plumbs Sissi's warped naivete and insecurity, embodying her with such a raw, apprehensive nature that she even walks with small, uncertain steps, like a child treading carefully on the thin ice of a frozen pond.

 Exclusive Interview - Franka Potente for "The Bourne Supremacy"
Potente is currently single and happily looking, admitting that despite the strong women she plays, in her own life, she's a romantic softie.
As Potente is about to turn 30, she doesn't see this new epoch as something to fear, nor is she getting undue pressure to finally settle down.
In returning to Germany, Potente is looking for the kinds of strong women she has enjoyed playing over the years, but finds it as challenging there to get a good film, as here.

 PopMatters Film Interview | Tom Tykwer and Franka Potente - The Princess and the Warrior   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Earlier this year, Potente appeared in Blow, as Johnny Depp's dead girlfriend, and will be seen this fall in The Bourne Identity opposite Matt Damon.
For their new movie, The Princess and the Warrior, Tykwer and Potente worked together on the script, developing the complicated relationship between her character, the psychiatric nurse Sissi, and an emotionally damaged ex-soldier named Bodo (Benno Furmann).
That was something we constructed in the writing, because Franka was there when I was writing it.

 AskMen.com - Franka Potente pictures
In the interviews that accompanied the releases of Run Lola Run and The Princess and the Warrior, Franka was very emphatic in saying that, despite her sudden rise to success, she would maintain her integrity in approaching films and choose her roles strictly on the basis of the quality of the script.
Making a quick rise to the top riding on an international hit put Franka's career in a particularly tenacious position; rather than having the benefit of easing her way into the movie-going consciousness, she simply exploded on the scene, leaving everyone in anticipation of her follow-up.
Franka will need to pad her English language resume a bit more before her name becomes commonplace in North American households and she becomes a regular casting call.

While Franka has stated in interviews that it is the script above all that dictates whether or not she will take on a role, she has also made it clear that she will not shy away from high-production Hollywood projects.

 Franka Potente >> German-Hollywood Connection
Potente's initial training as an actress took place while she was in high school in Germany and briefly in an American high-school drama class in Houston (as an exchange student).
Born in the German city of Münster in 1974, Potente grew up in the small-town atmosphere of nearby Dülmen in the Münsterland region of North Rhine-Westphalia.
But it's no surprise that both relationships ended, with a hectic filming schedule that often requires Potente to be on a movie set and to divide her time between Hollywood and her homeland.
