MORE ABOUT JOHANNA: Johanna ter Steege won the European Film Award for Best Supporting Actress for her movie debut in George Sluizer’s The Vanishing (1988).

For the past twelve years she has traveled all over the world, acting in different languages and working with renowned directors, such as Robert Altman (Vincent & Theo), István Szabó (Dear Emma, Sweet Böbe), Heddy Honigmann (Goodbye, for which she won Best Actress at the Locarno International Film Festival), Bruce Beresford (Paradise Road) among many others. Johanna has also worked with actors such as Gary Oldman, Glenn Close, Frances McDormand, Isabella Rossellini and Tim Roth.

In January 2001 ter Steege played Countess Geschwitz, in the play "Lulu", directed by Jonathan Kent, both in the Almeida Theatre in London and in Washington.

In 1993, she was a member of the jury at the 43rd Berlin International Film Festival and was awarded with the Berlinale Camera. 

In 1994, after Julia Roberts and Uma Thurman declined, Stanley Kubrick cast her for his adaptation of Louis Begley's novel Wartime Lies. Kubrick abandoned the project after it became clear that Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List would be released first.
