Benedikte Hansen

Benedikte Hansen (born 24 September 1958) is a Danish actress, best known to international audiences for her role as Hanne Holm in the television series Borgen.[1]

Hansen is the daughter of Dr Flemming Hansen (died 2003) and his wife Aase Riegels Borch.[2] She trained as an actress at Denmark's Statens Teaterskole. From 1983 to 1993, she was married to actor and director Gerz Feigenberg; the marriage ended in divorce. She subsequently married Laws Michael Christiansen; that marriage also ended in divorce. She subsequently had a relationship with actor Viggo Sommer,[3] which ended amicably in 2017. Following their break-up, Sommer said that the main problem was that "Benner", as he called Hansen, was living in Copenhagen while he was living in Aarhus.[4]

In 2013, she played her first major English-language screen role, when she appeared as the Baroness in a new BBC adaptation of The Lady Vanishes.[5] In 2016 she won the Reumert prize for Best leading actress.[6]

gollark: I think the reason my music listening is using so much CPU, for instance, is that I'm using YouTube for it, which provides videos, which Firefox is decoding even if the actual video content isn't seen. The actual audio content I care about could probably be decoded on a cheap ARM microcontroller or something if there wasn't so much random stuff in the way.

gollark: No.
gollark: But the basic-seeming stuff involves horrendous amounts of computing because of various stacked abstractions.
gollark: Anyway, thing is, most people don't actually do stuff which, well, involves a lot of raw computation on their computers much.
