Michaela Schaffrath (born in Eschweiler, Germany) is a German television actress. A former nurse, she got started in the adult film industry after she posed nude for Coupé, a German adult magazine.^[1] She gained international notoriety during her career as a pornographic actress under the stage name Gina Wild.

She won two Venus Awards, for Best New Starlet in 1999 and Best German Actress in 2000.^[1] She created a lot of news when she participated in a gang bang film where she had sex with over 30 guys. In 2001 Schaffrath retired from pornography and moved into mainstream acting,^[2] and has since appeared in numerous German television series, such as TV total, In aller Freundschaft and Wer wird Millionär?.^[3] After being recognised by a fan, she admitted in 2003 that she was working in a Frankfurt brothel, but stated it was because she was addicted to sex, rather than to make money.^[2] In 2005 she put the rights to her stage name and the brand Gina Wild up for sale, in an attempt to shed her porn star past.^[1] She is managed by her former husband, and as of 2009 she lived in both Frankfurt and Hamburg.^[1]
