Early career
She studied theology and worked in a bookstore in the early years of her career. In Oviri, a 1986 film about Paul Gauguin with Donald Sutherland, she was given the role of an artist's nude model in response to a newspaper advertisement at the age of 17. Despite having no formal education and only began acting on her mother's recommendation, she has been active since then.
"I thought it would be like a summer holiday job," she said, but one film led to another, and suddenly I was an actor, and I never really felt that I had made the decision. "I felt at home in the language of acting." Astrid Henning-Jensen's 1986 Danish film directed by Early Spring was her breakthrough role.
