We were unable to determine Lisa Maria Potthoff's handedness based on the available press and image material. We found no photos of her writing or eating. The footage from her films suggests she's right-handed. Typical gestures, such as holding a weapon, making lists with her fingers, or performing fight scenes, seem more like a right-handed person. We were all the more pleased when her autograph card arrived. It explicitly stated, "...she wrote with her left hand!"
