Helena Christensen
- Actress
- Additional Crew
As a child Helena Christensen was more interested in becoming a
musician, but as fate would have it began modeling at the age of 9.
After leaving school, she moved to Paris, France to model for the
french magazine 'Elle', and in 1986 she competed in the Miss Universe
contest as Miss Denmark, but unfortunately did not receive a placing.
Her big break came in June of 1989 when she was discovered by
photographer Friedemann Hauss, who instinctively knew that Helena was a
'natural' in terms of modeling ability. Since then her career has taken
off, and she is now one of the top international catwalk queens. Helena
has since taken on the movie industry, starring in a British TV movie
Inferno (1980) and following it up with a cameo role in Robert Altman's
Ready to Wear (1994).
