Gruschenka Stevens is a German actress. Stevens initially made a guest appearance on the children's television program "Die Sendung mit der Maus" (The Show with the Mouse ). At the age of eleven, she performed in a play at the Schauspielhaus Köln (Cologne Playhouse) and at seventeen moved to New York City, where she took acting classes at Herbert Berghoff's studios. She then attended the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City, London, and Los Angeles, where she landed a role in a Canadian-German soap opera. In 1994, she landed her first small roles in German films, including "Keiner liebt mich" and "Voll normaaal". In 1995, she played the lead role of telephone operator Conny in the erotic thriller "Der kalte Finger". In 1999, Stevens portrayed a singer in Sherry Hormann's comedy "Widows – First Marriage, Then Pleasure" and an overwhelmed mother in the drama "Get Out of Here", directed by Franziska Buch. The film won the Max Ophüls Prize . As she had already done in the television series "Around 30", she worked again in 2001 under the direction of Ralf Huettner in the film adaptation of Ildikó von Kürthy's bestseller "Moonlight Tariff". Tim Bergmann and Jasmin Tabatabai were her co-stars in this film, in which she played a confused woman in her late twenties who, after many romantic misunderstandings, finally finds her dream man. This was followed by a collaboration with director Vivian Naefe, who cast her in two leading roles: "Crazy Is Also Normal", a musical tragicomedy alongside Dieter Pfaff, and the dark comedy "Men in Bites". In 2010, the episode "Netzangriff" from the series Krimi.de, starring Stevens as Lena Mederling, won the Rose d'Or in the Children & Youth category.
