Bent Nielsen, a bus conductor, and her mother, Laila Inge-lise Matzigkeit (1945-2014), was an insurance clerk who also wrote musical reviews. She was confirmed a Mormon and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She began her acting career as a child with her mother on the local revue and variety stage. She travelled to Paris, France, where she performed as an actress and model, which led to further work and study in Italy—at drama school in Rome and in master classes with Lydia Styx, a professor at Piccolo Teatro di Milano. She lived in Italy for many years before moving to the United States, where she now lives.
