Karolina Benefield is a Polish born actress who is set to make her mark with one of the lead roles in Jason William Lee's horror film Funhouse. Born in central Poland. During her first 10 years, she spent a lot of time in northern Poland at sea with her grandparents. When she was 12 years old, the family moved to Vienna, Austria. She was excited because her other grandmother lived there and had visited her often and fell in love with the city. It was a challenging adaptation because she didn't speak German. She made it a priority to learn the language quickly so that she could excel in her studies and in her social life.

She chose to attend music school because she had learned to play the violin and piano when she was 7 years old and she really enjoyed the power of music. Karolina can play many instruments. After graduating with honor, she briefly attended college in Vienna before moving to Los Angeles to continue her studies and pursue modeling and acting.
