 'Love' actress is seducing Hollywood
COLOGNE, Germany -- German actress Heike Makatsch doesn't have the biggest role in Richard Curtis' Christmas comedy "Love Actually," but playing sultry office temptress Mia, she does get one of the best lines.
Makatsch stomped onto the German scene in 1993, wearing combat boots and schoolgirl braids and interviewing pop royalty such as Madonna and David Bowie for then-fledgling music channel VIVA.
It was on the set of her second film -- Peter Sehr's "Obsession" -- that Makatsch met British actor Daniel Craig ("Sylvia,") and followed him home to London.
