Early life
editHer parents met when her mother, a ballet dancer, was cast in one of the productions, of the theatre her father owned.[1]
Tolle had her stage debut at the tender age of three, when she started working at her father's theatre. At first she was only cast because her father wanted to save money by not hiring child actors that he would have to pay. But he soon realised, that his daughter had actual talent and started putting on plays that would best showcase her talents. It wasn't long before Tolle became the star of almost every production.[2]
As a teenager Tolle moved to Berlin to study drama, music and dance at one of the nations leading performing arts schools.[3]
