Full Biography
Anica Dobra is a highly acclaimed Serbian actress who has built a prolific and versatile career across both the Balkan and German-speaking film industries. Born on June 3, 1963, in Belgrade, she spent part of her youth in Germany, which allowed her to become fluent in the language—a skill that later became a cornerstone of her international success. After returning to Belgrade to study at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts, she quickly established herself as one of the most talented performers of her generation, winning the Golden Arena for Best Actress at the Pula Film Festival early in her career for her role in Reflections (1987).
In the 1990s, Dobra successfully expanded her reach into German cinema and television. Her talent was recognized with the Bavarian Film Award for Best Young Actress in 1991 for her performance in Rosamunde. Since then, she has become a familiar face to German audiences, starring in a wide array of productions ranging from intense dramas and crime series like Tatort and Polizeiruf 110 to popular comedies such as Leberkäsjunkie (2019). Her ability to navigate between different cultures and languages has made her a unique figure in European cinema, often appearing in high-profile co-productions like the award-winning thriller Klopka - Die Falle (2007).
