Katrine Michelsen (21 January 1966 – 17 January 2009) was a Danish model and actress.[1][2]

Career

[edit]

Michelsen's first role as an actress was a small role in Cyklen, a project film at the Danish film academy. Shortly after school she got a role in a TV play by Franz Ernst and Astrid Saalbach. In the play, she is a strong and politically committed woman. Later she became a nude model in Ekstra Bladet and Ugens Rapport [da].

This gave her roles in two horror films and two erotic films in Italy from 1986. In La Bonne by Salvatore Samperi,[3] Trine Michelsen is a maid who arouses the inhabitants of a house erotically. The film was a success in Italy. The following year came Sergio Bergonzelli's Tentazione [it] which was even more erotic. The same year she played opposite Donald Pleasence in the splatter film Spettri directed by Marcello Avallone [de; it]. Her last Italian film was the 1987 thriller Le foto di Gioia by Lamberto Bava.

Her only American film came in 1988 in a small role in The Girl in a Swing, Gordon Hessler's adaptation of Richard Adams' novel by the same name. Lack of success made her focus on her modelling career, but she returned to acting in 1994 playing a prostitute in Vibeke Gad [da]'s unemployment drama Eva. In 1998 she was the most nude collectivist in Lars von Trier's Dogme-film The Idiots.[4]

Personal life

[edit]

Michelsen was the daughter of journalist and author Ole Michelsen and his wife Nina Varberg, who died in a car accident four years after Trine's birth. She was without contact with her father for years until they were reconciled in the 1990s.[5]

In April 2005, she told publicly that she had cancer. In December, it had spread to most of her body. Michelsen died 17 January 2009 in a nursing home in Emdrup.[6] She was buried at Frederiksberg Church.[7]
