Sandra Plazinic

Growing up between Austria and Serbia, Sandra found many ways to occupy herself as a young girl. Staging plays and dances, writing poems and memorizing songs from musical TV films, providing much entertainment for family and friends. Her contagious energy, creativity and rhythm, encouraged her parents to enroll her in the Vienna State Opera Ballet School, where she spent the next a decade training and performing. The demanding curriculum, tailored after the Vaganova schools in Russia, also offered Acting, Singing, Fencing and other styles of Dance such as Jazz, Modern, Ballroom - and Historical Dance. Sandra's expressiveness and early exposure on live stage lead her to win many scholarships at the International Dance weeks in Vienna and the Ecole de Danse Classique de Princesse Grace in Monte Carlo, Dance Weeks, Steps Broadway and later at the Edge Performing Arts Center in Hollywood. She spent most of her teens and twenties honing her craft and stage presence dancing and acting in Ballets, Operas and TV shows with stars such as R. Nurejev, the Bolschoi Ballet, Luciano Pavarotti, Prince, Madonna, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Tom Jones, Celine Dion and other legends. Beside a rigorous training and performing schedule, Sandra got her first movie role in an American production of the Richard Strauss saga as a Can-Can girl. During a Theater Production of Andre Heller, where she enjoyed a comedic role as a maid at the very prestigious Raimund Theater, she was approached by a modeling scout from Ford N.Y., offering a modeling contract in Paris and New York. Wanting to explore more of the world, Sandra went on a series of modeling assignments across Europe, Africa, Thailand, Australia and Japan, before moving to the U.S. Followed by a few years dancing on Broadway in the Producers and training at Steps studios in Manhattan NY, introduced Sandra to a new range of challenges such as singing and acting. An audition with a film agent and at the Edge Performing Arts Center in Hollywood encouraged her to move to L.A where she soon enjoyed several years of studying film and stage acting with Ellen Geer at the Theatricum Botanicum and Michelle Danner and Larry Moss at the Larry Moss Studio. Getting her first break in a TV commercial for Noxima followed by a live performance at the Comedy Arts festival in Aspen, opposite Rodney Dangerfield, Sandra's comedic timing and feeling for dramatic moments led to more roles in other prime time TV shows such as Las Vegas, Friends, General Hospital, Young & The Restless, Passions, Maggy and movies such as Showgirls, The Big Lebowski, The Singing Detective, A.I., Fast & The Furious, Argo, The Island, Rumor Has It, 50 Shades Darker. She has also hosted red carpet events and Award shows and has been a brand ambassador for super cars since 2008. Sandra's love for writing, hosting and coordinating has lead her to work in different capacities in the Film-, Fashion-, and super car industry. She has represented designers during Fashion week in New York, Los Angeles, Paris and speaks German, French, English and Serbian fluently, a bit of Italian and Russian.
