Life and career

Born in Herne, North Rhine-Westphalia,[1][2] Leonie entered the adult industry in September 2005, at the age of 19 years.[3] In 2006, she became an exclusive actress for the company Videorama, for which she made her own series called Leonie.[3] That same year, Leonie won the eLine Award in the category "Best Newcomer Germany"[4] and, in 2007, in the category "Best Actress Germany".[3][2][5][6]
