The Norwegian actress initially gained recognition through her performances in movies such as This is Not Happening back in 2014. Her breakthrough role came when she portrayed Princess Leia in the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. In that movie, her appearance was enhanced with digital effects to mirror the younger version of Carrie Fisher, who originally played the iconic character.
Long before she became a household name, she began her acting journey on stage in Norway during her teenage years. Her early experiences in theater helped shape her skills and passion for performance. Coming from a creative background, she was influenced by her father, who is known as a novelist.
This Norwegian actress has certainly carved out a unique path in the entertainment industry, blending her roots in theater with major roles on the global screen.
Before she made her mark in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, she actually appeared in another major Hollywood blockbuster—Avengers: Age of Ultron—where she had a smaller, but notable, role. It’s kind of interesting to look back and see how her career evolved from that early appearance to becoming such a standout in the Star Wars universe. She really came a long way, and honestly, it makes sense when you think about it—her talent was evident even back then.
