In 2006, she obtained one of the main roles in Zodiak, the German version of the French television soap opera Zodiaque. In 2008, she played in the police series Presumé Guilty, the role of a lawyer. For this role she received the Bavarian Television Prize. In 2008, she played the lead role of Lena Berkow, a post-war woman in the 1950s in her brand new three-part TV film Die Rebellin. From 2010 to 2013, Alexandra starred in a trilogical TV film: La Catin under the original name Die Wanderhure, La Châtelaine, (Die Rache der Wanderhure) and The Testament of the Whore, (Das Vermächtnis der Wanderhure) where she played Marie Shärer, medieval film with actor Bert Tischendorf. In 2014, she played Verena Vermuth in the film The Forbidden Woman, based on a novel and true events. Alexandra plays alongside Mido Hamada (vo: Die Verbotene Frau).

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on Motif; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their Motif titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
