About

Bettina is best known for playing Natascha in the crime drama Casino Jack, starring Kevin Spacey. Subsequently, she portrayed a Park Avenue Socialite on the brink of divorce in Justin Ervin's film Six Months Later.

Bio

Bettina was reared in both Europe and the USA. After a professional figure skating career, she studied acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in NYC. She worked as a model throughout those years. Bettina began her acting career on stage in New York while getting her B.A. at Columbia University. She also holds both a PhD and a M.A. in English Literatures & Cultures. Due to a long-term health issue, Bettina decided that writing a doctoral dissertation on acting was going to keep her close and up-to-date on her line of work. Not only is Bettina back to full health and ready to resume her career, but she has also gained renewed perspective and a greater sense of purpose in life. Bettina reads voraciously, loves to observe people and learn from them. She loves dancing and the discipline of long-distance running, remaining an athlete at heart. She is always accompanied by Mr. Bingley, her mischievous Maltipoo. An ardent admirer of hand-crafted couture, she cannot resist the artistry of a glittery gown.


Early Life & Background

Bettina was born in Germany to an academic mother and father. She moved to NYC at a young age in order to attend school. Her maternal grandfather was an actor, luthier, engineer, and a pilot. Bettina's great-great-grandfather, Georg Leib, was the Royal Councillor of Commerce to Bavaria's Prince Luitpold, and has several  streets named after him in Munich and environs.
