Mimi Fiedler

Fiedler was born as Miranda Čondić-Kadmenović in Split. She moved to Germany with her parents when she was only two years old.[1] On the advice of her Munich agent, she changed her family name to Toma, the first name of her great-grandfather, in order to have a name that was easier to pronounce in Germany and to get better acting roles.

In 1996, Fiedler started her career in the theater. At the community theatre of the Schauspielhaus in Frankfurt, she played among others Maria in the West Side Story. She made her film debut in 1998 in the short film Zita - Tales of Deadly Sins, which won the special jury prize at the International New Film Festival in Turin.
