As an actress and surgeon, she could practically choose which way to go. She is now an Emmy winner and is involved in various social projects.
As the child of two doctors, her professional career was actually already mapped out. And at first she followed it. But the East Berliner is now one of the most sought-after actresses in Germany. Christiane Paul turns 48 today.
From surgery in front of the camera
The daughter of an orthopedist and an anesthetist, who grew up in the Berlin district of Pankow, studied medicine at Berlin’s Humboldt University after graduating from high school in 1992. After her doctorate in 2002, she worked in surgery for two years. But her further path should lead her to film and television.
Already in her youth she got her first appearances as a photo model for magazines like “Bravo”. At the age of 17 she made her film debut in “Deutschfieber”, but it was only later that she gave her career in front of the camera the decisive boost to take care of her actual path in the field of medicine. She learned her craft at the Lee Strasberg Institute in New York.
Film and television made her grow
Christiane Paul achieved her breakthrough on the big screen at the latest through her engagement in the 2007 production “Neues vom WiXXer”. This was followed by appearances in major and highly acclaimed films such as “The Wave”, where she played alongside Jürgen Vogel, or “Jerry Cotton” in 2010. In 2016, Paul won an International Emmy Award for her role in the political thriller “Unterm Radar”, the biggest award of her career to date.
Your opinion and commitment are valued
The actress, who also reads audio books and can be seen on theater stages, is involved in several charity campaigns. She is committed to the Berlin social project “Die Arche” as well as to the campaign “The voice against poverty”. She also strives to ensure that socially disadvantaged people receive better education. She has been married to a Berlin physicist since 2017. Christiane Paul already has two children from her first marriage.
