"The lovely Sabine Ehrenfeld (pronounced "Sa-BEAN-uh") was driving back from
a snowboarding trip with her children, on her way to casting calls the

In addition to German and English, Sabine speaks French and Italian. She is
proficient in basic tactical pistol skills, because she thought it would be
a fun thing to learn. She also has a private pilot's license and 350 hours
in the air. After reading the Richard Bach book Biplane, she was inspired to
fly solo-in an old-style, aerobatic tailwheel plane-from California to
Montana. With camping gear in the back so she could land along the route to
sleep and refuel. I am not making this up."
