"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
following day. Still, she found time to chat in a delightful and disarming

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."
