Biography
Julia Ubrankovics is a Hungarian film, television and theater actress. She is one of the most highly regarded Hungarian actors of her generation. Ms Ubrankovics was awarded best actress at the 40th Hungarian Film Week's for her first leading role in the film Virtually a Virgin, a motion picture directed by the acclaimed Hungarian director, Peter Bacso. Ms. Ubrankovics has performed on stages all over Europe including Budapest, Graz, Berlin, Munich and Hamburg... In 2008 she took a Master Class and a workshop in method acting where she worked with actor, director and acting coach Robert Castle from the International Theater New York and in 2009, after which she moved to New York.

She made her stage debut in 2000's The Crucible as Abigail Williams. This was followed by her screen debut in the made-for-television movie 4x100 in 2006. After graduating from the Hungarian University of Theater, Film and Television (M.A. in Acting), she did theatrical practice in Katona József Theater, one of the most highly recommended Hungarian theaters. "The main reason to see Peter Bacso's Hungarian dramedy is for the lead performance of Julia Ubrankovics as an impoverished 18-year-old sold into prostitution by her no-good boyfriend. Sounds grim but, weirdly, isn't. That's because the red-haired, funny-faced, full-bodied Ubrankovics radiates a good-natured innocence unmatched since Giulietta Masina in Fellini's Nights of Cabirina.
