Happy Birthday, Diane Kruger! Kruger is one of the few Germans who made it in Hollywood. She became world famous for her performance as the beautiful Helena in Troy, and more roles followed – in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds and Fatih Akim’s movie In the Fade, for which she won a Palme d’Or in Cannes. She turns 45 today. Fun Fact: Her surname was too complicated for the US, so she changed it from Heidkrüger to Kruger. | DW Euromaxx
