Biography

Sarah Marissa Wullinger was born in Filderstadt, a small city near Stuttgart, Germany. Starting at a very young age, Sarah began performing ballet and small plays on stage through which she developed an intense passion and love for acting. At the age of 15 she convinced her parents to send her to an International school, so she could learn to speak perfect English and eventually act in International Films. In 2010, Sarah relocated to Los Angeles, where she enrolled in the famed Stella Adler Academy of Acting, where actors such as Marlon Brando, Benicio Del Toro, Robert De Niro, Salma Hayek and Mark Ruffalo have studied in the past. During that time she performed in numerous plays, such as "Modigliani", "Closer", "Marvin's Room", "Othello", "Hey Fever", "Moon for the Misbegotten", "Identity Crisis", "Lynette at 3am" and "Burn This". She also got cast as the leading part in several short films and a Clinique commercial Contest which nationally won "honorable mention".

In her last Semester at the Stella Adler Academy, she was cast as the 3 crucial parts of a Jewish Rabbi, a Mormon Woman and a republican lawyer in Tony Kushner's "Angels in America" at the Irene Gilbert Theatre, for which she earned critical acclaim.

After graduating the Stella Adler Academy of Acting, she worked on the Psycho Thriller, "The Islander", shot a commercial for the famous brand "Maidenform" and received her O1 "Alien of extraordinary Ability" Visa which gave her the opportunity to continue working in the U.S Entertainment Industry.

Sarah most recently portrayed "Maria", the female lead in the upcoming feature film "Perception of Art". Maria is a strong headed and witty cleaning lady who fights for her family in Mexico. She continues her acting training by taking classes, intensives and seminars, exercising her creative muscle and preparing for any challenge that comes her way.
