Biography
Nadine Chandrawinata was Puteri Indonesia (Miss Indonesia Universe) 2005, and a delegate representing Indonesia in the 2006 Miss Universe Pageant. She was the second Miss Indonesia to participate in the pageant (preceded by Artika Sari Devi) after a long hiatus in 1996. Her mother is German and her father is Chinese Indonesian. She has two siblings, twins Marcel and Mischa, who are also models and actors. She measures 174 cm (5 feet 8 inches) in height and 122 lb (60 kg) in weight.
Although she was born in Hannover and is of German descent, she moved to Jakarta in Indonesia when she was only 3 years old, which explains her limited German. Currently, she studies at the London School of Public Relations in Jakarta.
Her ethnicity is a part of critics. Her being chosen as Miss Indonesia 2006 deemed being false choice, because in the international view she isn't a pure Indonesian, but more a foreigner (of German descent) with Indonesian nationality with fair skin and hardly a 100 percent Indonesian. Many regretted the choice and Indonesian people feel discriminated by not able to competed in the International pageant.
In July 19th 2006, Nadine was charged by the Indonesian Law for her involvement in Miss Universe 2006 pageant. She is charged for breaking the code of law number 281 Culture and Educational decree 02/U/1984. Indonesian law forbid any kind of Miss pageants. She is one of the people who are being charged for the misdemeanor, including Miss Indonesia 2004 Artika Sari Devi.
She starred in an Indonesian drama movie, Reality, Love, and Rock'N Roll, with fellow actor Herjunot Ali, who happens to be Agni Pratistha's boyfriend. She was an F1 ambassador for the 2006 Petronas Malaysian F1 Grand Prix. She is also a commercial star of Kiranti.
