She had a Catholic upbringing, but when she left home to become an actress, she also left the Church.
As she said in testimony, she began to live as she liked, doing whatever she wanted, in a spirit of rebellion against all authority. She lived this transgressive life, she says, for many years, thinking it was true liberty, but its actual effect on her was to leave her psychologically vulnerable and without protection.
In her fear she began to recite the Lord"s Prayer and felt the threat recede. Subsequently Claudia Koll became a devout Roman Catholic.
She is involved in several humanitarian activities and has travelled all over Italy to give testimony of her conversion and invite young people to return to prayer and faith in God.
In 2006 she also gave a moving testimony at a healing service in Malta.
