Early Life and Discovering Her Talent
Larissa grew up in St. Kanzian, a town in Carinthia, Austria. Her father, Heinz Anton Marolt, used to be a local politician and owns a hotel there. Larissa has three siblings: two brothers and an older sister. She finished high school in 2010.
When she was 14, Larissa was part of a youth theater club. This club was at the Klagenfurt City Theater. It was there that people first noticed her potential as a model.
Larissa's Career Journey
At 16, Larissa tried out for Austria's Next Top Model. She was chosen as one of the top ten girls for the TV show. In the final episode, she won the title of "Austria's Next Topmodel". Her prize included a contract with a modeling agency. She also appeared on the cover of Miss magazine. Another prize was a contract to be the face of Swarovski Crystallized. She also got to join Germany's Next Top Model. This made her one of the few contestants to be on two different "Top Model" shows.
Even though she won in Austria, Larissa found it hard to make friends on Germany's Next Top Model. After these shows, she walked on runways for fashion events. She also appeared on the covers of magazines like Madonna and Live.
In 2010, Larissa joined a spin-off show called Die Model WG. She decided to leave the show early. She wanted to focus on her school exams, which she passed. After school, she went to New York to study acting. Later, she moved to Berlin. There, she played Maxi Koenig in the German TV series Anna und die Liebe. She also had a role in Danni Lowinski.
Larissa's first movie was Rise Up! And Dance. It was an Austrian film that came out in 2014. She also starred in the horror movie Hopped Up - Friedliche Droge. This film was shown in cinemas in Austria and Germany.
In 2014, Larissa took part in the German show I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!. She finished in second place. On the show, she had to do many "bushtucker trials". These are challenges to win food for the camp. Viewers chose her for eight trials in a row. This set a new world record for the show!
On February 8, 2014, Larissa received a special award. Her hometown of Klagenfurt gave her the 'Special Lindwurm Award'. This award had only been given once before.
Larissa also competed in the German TV show Let's Dance in 2014. She and her dance partner finished in fourth place. In April 2014, she won a Romy award. This is a big TV award in Austria. She also appeared on the game show Schlag den Star.
Later in 2014, Larissa became a judge. She joined the jury for the talent show Die große Chance. She also received the "New-Face-Award" at the Leading Ladies Award ceremony. This award celebrates successful women in Austria.
In August 2014, Larissa joined the Ice Bucket Challenge. This helped raise awareness for the disease ALS. A TV show about her life, called Larissa Goes to Hollywood, started in 2015.
In 2016, Larissa won first place in a styling contest. It was called Promi Shopping Queen. She donated her prize money to a children's cancer charity. Since October 2024, Larissa has been a main judge on the fashion show My Style Rocks.
