Alexandra: Wenn ich irgendwann einmal einen Wunschzettel an den Weihnachtsmann geschrieben h?tte, mit W?nschen f?r meine Karriere - mit Coppola zu drehen, das h?tte ich mir wohl nicht angema?t. (If I would have written a wish list to Santa Claus sometime, with wishes for my career - to film with Coppola, I would've never arrogated that to myself.)
When Alexandra was in acting school, her father was also her teacher.
When Alexandra looks back on her first time in Berlin, the first things which come to her mind are color television and escalators.
She loves to drink cola by the bucket.
Alexandra Maria Lara was a member of the theatre in her school.
In 'Der Fischer und seine Frau', Alexandra's character in time became a sort of fury, so she had to get sudden surges of emotions, which wasn't extremely hard for her, since she has hysterical moments by herself, how she disclosed.
The readers of the magazine 'Maxim' selected her to be the 'Superwoman of the Year' in 2004. More than 450,000 people participated in that ballot.
While Alexandra was shooting 'Nackt', she had to do a naked scene and felt a bit uncomfortable, because she never bared in front of so much people before.
In 2005, Alexandra Maria Lara won the 'Golden Camera' for being the best German actress.
Since her beginning in acting, she already took part in over fifty TV or film productions.
In preparation for her role as Traudl Junge in 'Der Untergang' she saw the documentation 'Im toten Winkel - Hitlers Sekr?trin' from Andre Heller and read the book 'Bis zur letzten Stunde' written by Traudl Junge herself, which happened to be her biggest help for the time of the filming.
It was always her wish to become an actress.
Alexandra Maria Lara started acting by accident. When she was a little girl, people noticed her talent and wanted to work with her.
She is the daughter of the actor Valentin Platareanu.
Alexandra Maria Lara was born on November 12, 1978 in Bukarest, Romania. She fled to Germany with her parents when she was four and a half years old.
Alexandra often travels to Bucharest to visit her grandmother.
