Connie Inge-Lise Nielsen (born July 3,
1965) is a Danish actress.
Early life: Nielsen was born in Frederikshavn,
Denmark and raised nearby in a small seaside village
named Elling. She began her acting career working
alongside her mother on the local revue and variety
scene.
At 18, she travelled to Paris, France
where she worked 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 teacher at
il Piccolo Teatro di Milano in Milan. She lived in Italy
for many years, before moving to the United States,
where she still resides.
Career: Her feature film debut was the French
film, Par où t'es rentré? On t'a pas vu sortir in
1984, followed by a role in the Italian mini-series
Colletti Bianchi in 1988. She appeared in the 1991
Italian Vacanze di Natale '91 and the French film Le
Paradis Absolument in 1993.
She moved to the United States in 1996 and made her
first appearance in a major English-language film in
1997 as Christabella Andreoli in The Devil's Advocate,
starring opposite Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves. This led
to roles in films as Permanent Midnight (1998), Rushmore
(1998) and Soldier (1998).
In 2000 she became known to worldwide audiences as
Lucilla in Ridley Scott's internationally acclaimed
Academy Award-winning epic Gladiator, where she starred
opposite Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix. She has
since then starred in some notable American films,
including Mission to Mars (2000), One Hour Photo (2002),
The Hunted (2003) and Basic (2003). She also starred in
the acclaimed French thriller Demonlover (2002),
directed by Olivier Assayas.
In 2004, she made her Danish film debut in the drama, Brødre
(aka Brothers) for which she won the Danish Best Actress
Award, The Bodil, as well as Best Actress at the San
Sebastian International Film Festival. She was also
nominated for Best Actress at the European Film Awards.
In 2006, Nielsen appeared in several episodes of Law
& Order: Special Victims Unit as Det. Dani Beck. She
filled in for Mariska Hargitay who was on maternity
leave at the time of filming.
Personal life: Nielsen has a son named Sebastian,
born in 1991, with whom she lives in New York, NY. She
is currently dating Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich. On
May 21, 2007, Lars and Connie had a son named, Bryce
Thadeus Ulrich-Nielsen.
She speaks six languages: Danish, English, French,
German, Italian and Swedish.
Her favourite bands include The Clash and she is a fan
of the work of, among others, fellow Danes, film
directors Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg. She at
one time loved to collect designer sunglasses (her only
luxury habit) — she owns around 200 pairs.
