About me

Katharina Magdalena is an Austrian-born actress working across film, television, and theatre internationally, currently based in Austria. She trained at the Stella Adler Academy of Acting in Los Angeles (Second-ever scholarship recipient at the school, after Benicio del Toro) and continued her studies with Giles Foreman, Jean-Louis Rodrigue, and in Meisner technique at Playhouse West.

Katharina stars in the psychological thriller Disremember opposite Dermot Mulroney, Mishel Prada, and Alberto Frezza, delivering a performance noted for emotional precision and depth. Her theatre credits include Cordelia in Shakespeare’s King Lear, Laura in Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie, and Hannah in Devil’s Salt, portraying a midwife accused of witchcraft. Her stage work spans both classical and contemporary texts.

In addition to acting, Katharina produces projects that reflect her passion for character-driven stories, including the historical drama Vermillion directed by Jon Amiel, Sacrificial Lambs directed by Alex Proyas, and The Girl in the Mirror directed by Geoffrey Wright.

Committed to bold, emotionally resonant storytelling, Katharina brings nuance and authenticity to every role she inhabits.
