Biography
Nailea Norvind is the daughter of Norwegian-born psychosexual counselor, dominatrix, writer, producer, director and former actress Eva Norvind who was in turn the daughter of a Russian prince, Paulovic Chegodayef Sakonsky, and a Finnish sculptor, Johanna Kajanus. While Nailea became estranged from her mother when she was 12, they were reunited to search for her unknown Dutch father on the Dutch program "Spoorloos" on February 2, 2004. Nailea has two daughters of her own: Naian and Tessa Ía González Norvind, the last appearing at 17 years of age in her first movie Después de Lucía, a 2012 Mexican film by Michel Franco which won the Un Certain Regard prize in Cannes.
Norvind started her acting career at the age of 6 in theatre "A Doll's House" by Ibsen, and in TV on the telenovela Chispita. Nailea's break came in at the age of 17 with the telenovela Quinceañera. The same year, she participated in the film Gaby: A True Story. After a few small roles in several other telenovelas, she made Cuando llega el amor and then took a break from television. She returned eight years later in the telenovela Preciosa. She also appeared as herself in Didn't Do It for Love, a documentary about her mother directed by Monika Treut.
In 2006, Nailea completed the film that her mother, Eva Norvind, had been directing and producing at the time of her death in May of that same year: entitled Born Without, it is a documentary about severely handicapped Mexican actor and musician Jose Flores, who was born without arms and other limbs, yet supports his large family by playing the harmonica at various venues throughout Mexico.
