Biography

After graduating from the Odenwald School in Heppenheim, Fried studied theater, journalism, art history, German studies, communication studies, ethnology, and Italian in Munich from 1976 to 1983. She then studied documentary film and television journalism until 1989 at the Munich University of Television and Film.

In 1984, Fried began to host television programs, including the 1984—1997 youth radio program Live aus dem Alabama (Live from the Alabama), which dealt with topics such as AIDS, right-wing radicalism, drugs, and occultism. She also hosted the show 3 nach 9 between 1999 and 2009.

Fried has worked extensively as a writer. Until 2011, she wrote a regular column for the women's magazine Für Sie, and in 1995, she published her first children's book, Die StörenFrieds. Geschichten von Leo und Paulina (The Troublemakers. Stories from Leo and Paulina).

Fried is married to screenwriter Peter Probst, who has contributed to some of her publications.
