Quentin Tarantino didn't want Diane Krüger for Inglorious Basterds

[@vaskylark]

I can't imagine anyone else playing her role. She was so awesome. She reminded me of an old actress from times past. Really great performance. She was a break out star I thought, not just Waltz.

[@savvysearch]

She was great in that movie. Her best performance.

[@withnail-and-i]

She just won at Cannes

What did she win?

listenwhatisayoh are u saying her German sounded bad? but isn’t she German? I would think she could speak pretty good German

[@Unworshipediety]

[@IdefixD0g]

An iconic movie. Truly a masterpiece. Christopher Waltz played outstanding in my opinion. It was perfectly directed and it was very good distributed. Some amazing movies, don't get the recognition they deserve, just because of that. I am happy this is not the case with this one. Quentin Tarantino is a movie master, who influenced many people with his brilliant movies. Respect.

[@ChrisBrown-rf3yp]

Waltz was indeed brilliant

How did he not believe she was German? SHE HAS THE F--KING double dots over the U in her last name..!! >_

[@ellieanne8603]

phj223 it's called an umlaut :) it's also used in other European languages like French, Spanish, Catalan and Galician (the umlaut U anyway -- ü). But yes Krüger is an exclusively German surname

[@joemckim1183]

Which being related to Freddy would've been automatically perfect if he was casting Inception.

She was absolutley brilliant in that role . totally engaging !!

Oh Hilda.I love her

[@EduardoDeVicente1981]

The part was written with Claudia Schiffer in mind. It was actually offered to the German Top Model but she decided not to play the part.

[@da96103]

I thought it was Brigitte Nielsen.

[@lissandrafreljord7913]

Makes sense. Claudia is German, blonde and blue-eyed, speaks pretty good English considering she is married to a British director and lives in England, and she is also fluent in French considering she worked in Paris for so long, and she must know a bit of Italian too, considering she also worked in Milan a lot.

[@sherparoyale]

This was the role that elevated her above a pretty face. She not only deserved it, but she earned it on the same terms as everyone else.

[@MINABERTA]

No imagino a alguien más como Bridget Von Hammersmark que Diane Kruger ... pareciera que el personaje fue creado para ella 👏🏻

[@TheQwertyRoll]

Why does everyone always spell the title of the movie wrong?? It's Inglourious Basterds (both words are spelled wrong on purpose)!!

To those idiots who say, "What the hell did Quentin Tarantino think she was, with a last name like Kruger?" Diane does mention that Quentin probably thought she might just have been of German descent but that she didn't grow up there.

[@da96103]

Quentin told Diane: See the bag behind you? Put your hand inside and see what is in there?
