GOSSIP:	Member of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival. (1998) Considered for the role of Catwoman in BATMAN RETURNS (1992). Considered for the role of Maria Ruskin in THE BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES (1990). Has a fine singing voice. Recorded, a.o., Swedish song Människors glädje (written and composed by her father Stig Olin) and Swedish country/folk tune Sommarbrevet (Jag skrev ett brev) in the 1970s (Polar Music, Sweden). Moved permanently to the US in 1995 together with husband Lasse Hallström (as both their international careers developed separately) and the couple have since then been resident in Bedford, New York. However, they still have their summer house in Sweden (located in the Swedish province of Skåne) where the family spend their summer holidays as well as an apartment in Stockholm. Failed twice - both times in the very last test - two years in a row before she was accepted the third time at Sweden's prestigious National Theatre Academy (Teaterhögskolan) in 1976. Before becoming an actress Lena worked both as a sub teacher (in languages) and as a hospital nurse (she first studied medicine at university) back in Sweden. Has said in a Swedish interview that contact with others got her to act, even very early as a child, describing it as an uncontrolled need of contact and to invent things: She remembers when she was seven and in love with a boy and staged an argument with him and then acted out a faked concussion. She got carried home as he apparently believed her: It ended with him coming home to her with apples and Andy Pandy books. Was a top student. Graduated with 4,9 average in her graduation scores (the highest in Sweden is 5.0). After failing twice in the test for drama school, she began to study medicine at university to become a doctor. However, she was convinced by Ingmar Bergman (who had directed her father in several films and watched Lena play amateur theater) to try a third time. She did and was admitted (and gave up medicine). Lena studied the course of Classic Humanities with Latin as her major language in the Swedish equivalent to senior high school/upper secondary education (1971-74). Later she also extended her course for half a year with the subjects of Maths, Physics and Chemistry as it was necessary for her medicine studies at university. Her first appearance was on Ingmar Bergman's movie FACE TO FACE in 1976. She was cast after Bergman saw her talent in an audition back in 1972 (although she didn't succeed). Left the TV show Alias so that she could spend more time with her family in New York. Bergman created the role she played in the 1984 movie AFTER THE REHEARSAL especially for her. Won the - Miss Scandinavia contest of 1975. Nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role at Academy Awards for ENEMIES: A LOVE STORY (1990) MORE LENA OLIN TRIVIA
