Early life
editKlebe was born in New York City[1] to European immigrant parents.[2] Her father is from Germany.[2]
Klebe went to high school in New York City and graduated from Dartmouth College in 2001[3][4] cum laude with a major in politics and a minor in theater and film. While in college, Klebe lived in Sienna, Italy when she was 20 for a study abroad program.[citation needed] She gave up being a competitive equestrian for a more complete immersion in theater in her teens. She attended the National Theater Institute at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center in Waterford, Connecticut.[5]

Ranging from characters such as Juliet in "Romeo & Juliet," Beatrice in "The Servant of Two Masters," Dorimene in "The Bourgeois Gentleman," Mary in "On The Verge," and Jill in "The Big Funk," she has worked at Soho Rep, The Public Theater, NY Theater Workshop, 59E59, The Jean Cocteau Repertory and the Underwood Theater in New York.
Klebe was cast as Lynda Van Der Klok in Rob Zombie's Halloween (2007). She subsequently co-starred in the independent horror film Proxy (2013), and in the anthology film Tales of Halloween (2015).
In the mid-2010s, Klebe enrolled in the New York University Graduate Film Program at Tisch School of the Arts, where she wrote, directed, and acted in the short film Daddy's Little Girl as her thesis project, which was released in 2019.[6]
She portrayed the historical character Leni Riefenstahl in Neil Marshall's remake of Hellboy (2019). Klebe had a leading role in the 2021 horror film Two Witches, which she co-wrote with director Pierre Tsigaridis. In 2024, she served as a jury member of the Compétition Cheval Noir award ceremony at the 28th Fantasia International Film Festival.[7]
