What’s odd is I’m watching Bourne Identity and they showed her and Damon walking in a full body shot. Damon was wearing some kind of boot and she was wearing just regular shoes. She looked like she might have had an inch on Matt. Very weird. Maybe Matt lies about his height?

Franka was in AHS 'Asylum'. She played Anne Frank.

I've seen Franka in the second Series of 'American Horror Story' and what is even better - if that was possible - is that that Dr Gregory House falls head over heels in love with her at the beginning of Season Six.

She helped towards his recovery. She DID love him, and I could tell that.

Whoah! It's thanks to Lady Lydia that House is back on his feet.

I saw her in AHS and 'House'. Which other surprises does she hold for me?

A gorgeous 5ft8. β™₯️

Here's wishing Franka a terrific 45th Birthday. I have liked her ever since I saw her in 'Creep', and was absolutely delighted to find that she starred in AHS 'Asylum', playing Anne Frank. She's One of the BEST! 🍻

5ft8.

URGHH! In a later episode, her husband who comes along to say that she isn't Anne Frank and is suffering from post natal depression, which was hardly a recognised illness in the 50's, is seen in a picture standing in close proximity to none other than HITLER!

And he made such a convincing case.... πŸ˜›

Do you think Franka should be added to the 'American Horror Story' page? She was SO good!
Editor Rob
There's a lot of small 1-3 episodes performers, I am not sure about adding them all.

Franka plays the part of Anne Frank.

There are so many faces popping up in 'American Horror Story', and in episode 4 of Season Two, Franka Potenta has joined the cast. She isn't playing her normal glamorous part. She is playing the part of a German girl who was in Auschwitz and she has recognised James Cromwell as one of the torturers.

She was utterly gorgeous in the film 'Creep' but this role is showing us what a serious actress she can be, not that her part in 'Creep' wasn't excellent, because it was. She looks model-girl tall, so I will agree with Rob's 5ft8. πŸ’πŸ˜

@Johnny1988, in the bourne identity they had him listed as 5'9 which is his height in sneakers??

That would be the 1st case an actor is rated shorter than in reality.

I saw Franka in the film 'Creep' and she spoke English as if it was her mother tongue! I was very impressed! I have also a copy of 'Run Lola Run' waiting to be watched.
I didn't recognize Franka with dark hair! Hair colour aside, it makes no difference to the fact that she is a very pretty girl dark or fair, and I don't think this picture does her justice at all!
I am pleasantly surprised that she is so tall! I thought she might be 5ft6.5 - 5ft7, but this is model-girl territory, and in her case, rightly so!

Franke Potente height: 5 ft 8.5 in (174 cm)
Franka Potente height: 5 ft 8 in (173 cm)

Rob, why did you listed her two times?

Damon looks about 3-4cms taller then her. Damon was always in boots.
Editor Rob
changed the spelling, but 5ft 8 I think is the closer shout.

I'd go for 5'7 flat since there is no way Matt Damon is over 5'8.5 flat ( even in the bourne identity they had him listed as 5'9 which is his height in sneakers)

Matt Damon looks a few inches taller than her in the Bourne Identity
jtm said on 23/Jan/11
matt damon is 5'8.
5'7.56 said on 22/Jan/11
this would make Damon at least 5'9.25, Damon's max would be 5'9.5 he hardly reaches 5'10.

Rob, her first name is Franka, not Franke. Franke is a German surname.

Editor Rob
thanks for noting that, I'll change that.

"Bear feet" I accept because bears have big pads, now "Bare" feet I can't accept because she is 5' 7".

I saw the borne identity this weekend. This girl was as tall or about a half inch shorter than Damon. When she kissed him at one point she looked even taller than Damon both in bear feet.

In "The Princess and the Warrior", during the scene where the news anchor on TV describes the suspects, Franke Potente's character is described as "5 foot 6"

I don't think Marisa Coughlan is 5'6 or 5'5. i think she's more like 5'3 or 5'4. What do you think?
