Diane Kruger (German: [diˈaːnə ˈkʁuːɡɐ], née Heidkrüger; born 15 July 1976) is a German actress. She is a former model-turned-actress who, early in her film career, gained worldwide recognition and received the Trophée Chopard from the Cannes Film Festival.
Kruger was born in Algermissen. She was trained from a young age to become a ballerina and studied at the Royal Academy in Hanover and the Royal Ballet School in London. She won the 1992 Elite Model Look national contest and signed with Elite Model Management, working in Paris and then New York. In the late 1990s, she left modelling and transitioned to acting.
Kruger became known for her roles in films such as Helen in the epic war film Troy (2004), Dr. Abigail Chase in the heist film National Treasure (2004) and its 2007 sequel, Bridget von Hammersmark in Quentin Tarantino's war film Inglourious Basterds (2009), and Gina in the psychological thriller film Unknown (2011). She also starred as Detective Sonya Cross in the FX crime drama series The Bridge (2013–14). In 2017, she made her German-language debut in Fatih Akin's In the Fade, for which she won the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress. In 2019, Kruger starred in the spy-thriller The Operative with Martin Freeman.

Diane Kruger Returns Home and Wins Big
Who says you can’t go home again? Twenty-five years after departing her native Germany to model in Paris, Diane Kruger is finally starring in her first German-language movie — a role for which she won best actress at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
In Fatih Akin’s emotionally devastating “In the Fade,” opening Wednesday, Dec. 27, Ms. Kruger plays Katja, a wild child married to Nuri (Numan Acar), a convicted Kurdish drug dealer who later finds respectability providing translation and tax services to immigrants in Hamburg. One day, Katja drops their young son off at Nuri’s office, and when she returns it is to a scene of carnage: A nail bomb has killed her husband and child. Drowning in grief, and angered by the focus of the police investigation, she embarks on a quest for justice — and eventually revenge — against neo-Nazis. “In the Fade” will represent Germany for best foreign language film at the Academy Awards in March.
