Born 7 July 1975 · Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, West Germany [now Germany]

Nina Hoss is a German stage and film actress.

Hoss acted in radio plays at the age of seven and appeared on stage for the first time at the age of 14.

In 1997 she graduated from the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts in Berlin. Her first major success was the title role Rosemarie Nitribitt of Bernd Eichinger's A Girl Called Rosemary in 1996, a period drama (based on an actual scandal) set in the 1950s that looks back at the days of West Germany's postwar Wirtschaftswunder with a curdling cynicism.

In 2000 she was one of the Shooting Stars at the Berlinale.
