Anna Karina (born Hanne Karin Blarke Bayer; September 22, 1940) is a Danish-born French film actress.

Early life

Before Anna turned one, her father had left her mother. After being raised by her maternal grandparents, where she stayed until the age of four, she spent time in and out of foster homes, before returning to live with her mother from the age of eight. She has described her childhood as "terribly wanting to be loved" and made numerous attempts as a child to run away from home. She began her career in Denmark, where she sang in cabarets and worked as a model playing in commercials and short films. At age 14, she appeared on a Danish short film which won a prize at Cannes. She studied dance and painting in Denmark and for a while made a living selling her paintings, before moving to Paris.

Film career

She came to Paris in 1958 at age 17 where she met Pierre Cardin and Coco Chanel.

As a rising fashion model, she was noticed by Jean-Luc Godard, then a film critic for "Cahiers du cinéma." Her first film appearance, although unauthorized, dates from 1959, when a soap advertisement in which she appeared as a model was included near the end of Guy Debord's "On the Passage of a Few Persons Through a Rather Brief Unity of Time". The image was accompanied by Debord's voice-over "The advertisements during intermissions are the truest reflection of an intermission from life." According to Godard's biographer, Colin Macabe, Godard was in the middle of casting his debut feature film, "A bout de souffle", that same year when he saw Karina in a series of Palmolive ads in a bath covered in soapsuds. He offered her an important part in the film, which she turned down because of a nude scene. When Godard questioned her about her refusal, referring to the supposed nudity in the Palmolive ads, she is said to have replied "Are you mad? I was wearing a bathing suit in those ads — the soapsuds went up to my neck. It was in your mind that I was undressed." The character Godard had reserved for her did not appear in the film. However, she eventually accepted his offer to play a major role in "Le Petit Soldat" (1960). Godard and Karina married on 3 March 1961, during the shooting of "Une femme est une femme", and divorced in 1967.

Karina was awarded best actress at the Berlin Film Festival in 1961 for her interpretation of the character Angela in the film "Une femme est une femme". Her acting career was not, however, limited to Godard's films, and she went on to a successful collaboration with other well-known directors. Her role in "Suzanne Simonin, la Religieuse de Diderot" (1967) by Jacques Rivette is considered by some as her best performance. She also acted in Luchino Visconti's "L'Etranger".

Other notable films include: George Cukor's "Justine" (1969), Tony Richardson's "Laughter in the Dark" (1969), Christian de Chalonge's "L'Alliance" (1970), Andre Delvaux's "Rendezvous a Bray" (1971), "The Salzburg Connection" (1972), Franco Brusati's "Bread and Chocolate" (1973) and Rainer Werner Fassbinder's "Chinese Roulette" (1976). In 1972 set up a production company named Raska for her film-directing debut "Vivre Ensemble", in which she also acted and which was released in 1973. She wrote and acted in "Last Song" in 1987. She has since appeared in "Haut, Bas, Fragile" (1995) by Jacques Rivette and sung in "The Truth About Charlie".

She has also appeared on stage, in Rivette's adaptation of "La Religieuse", "Pour Lucrece", "Toi et Tes Nuages", Francoise Sagan's "Il Fait Beau Jour et Nuit" and Ingmar Bergman's "Apres La Répétition".

Karina has also maintained an important singing career. At the beginning of the 1960s, she scored a major hit with "Sous le soleil exactement" and "Roller Girl", both songs taken from the musical comedy "Anna" by Serge Gainsbourg in which she sings seven songs alongside Gainsbourg and Jean-Claude Brialy. She subsequently recorded an album entitled "Une histoire d'amour" with Philippe Katerine, which was followed up by a concert tour. Karina has also written three novels and made several appearances on television. In 2005 she released "Chansons de films", a collection of songs sung in movies.

She wrote, directed and starred in "Victoria", a musical road movie filmed in Montreal, Quebec and Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean in 2007.

After Godard, she was married thrice more: to scriptwriter-actor Pierre Fabre (1968–1973), actor-director Daniel Duval (1978–1981) and director Dennis Berry (1982–1994).
