- BERLIN: Diane Kruger resisted the temptation to call in a stuntwoman for a challenging action scene in the thriller "Unknown." Kruger stars alongside Liam Neeson in the movie, which screened out of competition Friday at the Berlin film festival.
She plays Gina, a taxi driver and illegal immigrant who saves Neeson's character from drowning after her cab skids off a bridge into a river. Kruger says she "would have been very happy to let a very capable stunt lady take over from me." But she says her character is "a pretty tough chick really - and I felt like it was important that the audience believed that it was me." The actress says the experience introduced her to "a whole different layer of acting."
