Actress, model,
Height: 6 ft 1 in, 185 cm
Weight: 67 KG
Born
July 15, 1963 in Rødovre, Denmark
Brigitte Nielsen
was born as Gitte Nielsen, she is a Danish actress who became very popular in
1980s movies, most notably as the titular character in Red Sonja, due to her stature
and sultry looks. Because of these attributes, she was termed an Amazon by the
world press.
Nielsen reached the peak of her fame in 1987, when she played
the statuesque cool looking blonde Karla Fry in Beverly Hills Cop II, who was
a assassin, that Eddie Murphy and co defeated.
Nielsen started a short-lived
music career shortly after her divorce from Sylvester Stallone in 1987. She released
her debut album "Every Body Tells A Story" in that year and recorded
a duet with Austrian pop sensation Falco called "Body Next To Body"
which went to #22 in Germany and #6 in Austria. She released a follow-up album,
'"'I'm the one..nobody else'"', in 1992, although it was also not a
success. In 1999 she made a musical comeback by recording the dance track "No
more turning back" under the pseudonym of Gitta and reached #1 in Spain and
topped other several European dance charts. Other tracks recorded as Gitta were
2000's Tic Toc and 2001's You're no lady, a collaboration with Ru Paul.
Similarly
in the late 80s, Marvel Comics approached Brigitte to pose for photographs dressed
as the comic book character She-Hulk. Brigitte had previously impressed the company
with her prior portrayal of their character Red Sonja and they hoped she would
prove just as successful in a new movie venture. Unfortunately the photos did
not produce a large amount of investors in the potential film and Marvel was forced
to scrap the project.
In the 1990s, she hosted an English-language talk show
that was broadcast across Europe, to much acclaim. The show revived public interest
in Nielsen and helped her brush off the misconception that she could only be known
for her beauty.
She has worked for Italian television hosting hit shows such
as the 1992 edition of the Sanremo Music Festival; Retromarsh (1995-1997), and
..la sai l'ultima? (1999); starring in the tv movie Fantaghiro and its sequels
(1992-1996); and guest starring in the soap opera Un posto al sole (2000). One
time she appeared on Fantasy Football in Britain, where she was intimidating and
a bit madder, than in her interviews, even taking David Baddiel's glasses off,
and wore them, who like most men and Frank Skinner who was also there is shorter,
so did not try and get them back, even though it was their show, and they were
wittier, and seemed cleverer. In this period she also did some other things seen
as intimidating and bizarre such as taking a old man out of the audience and dancing
with him. But she later re-established her reputation in Britain, as not that
mad, by being in some interview shows, and saying how she became a model, when
she was spotted when young, by a fountain with pals.
She appeared on the first
season of the Italian version of The Mole (2004) and on the third season of the
VH1 reality show The Surreal Life 2004. In the show, Nielsen was seen flirting
with Public Enemy rapper Flavor Flav and it was confirmed that they were a couple,
even though she was still legally married to Raoul Meyer. The show was such a
success, due mainly to the interplay between this unusual couple, that VH1 produced
a spin-off reality show called Strange Love, which began airing on the channel
on January 9, 2005. Nielsen also appeared with Flav on the VH1 Big in '04 Awards.
In
January 2005 she appeared in the UK TV program Celebrity Big Brother along with
her former mother-in-law Jackie Stallone and the writer Germaine Greer.
In
2006 she appeared in another reality tv series, VH1's The Surreal Life: Fame Game.
Neilsen
is famous for her love life. Her first marriage was to Danish musician Kasper
Winding, with whom she had a son, followed by a marriage to actor Sylvester Stallone,
her co-star in Rocky IV and Cobra. She become engaged later to American football
player Mark Gastineau, with whom she had a son. Then she was married to Swiss
racecar driver Raoul Meyer from 17 December 1993 to 2005, and they had two sons:
Douglas Aaron and Raoul Jr. Ayrton (named after her friend Ayrton Senna). It is
often claimed that she married photographer/director Sebastian Copeland (Orlando
Bloom's cousin) but she says that it was not a legal marriage.
Nielsen married
for the fifth time in March 2005 to 28-year-old Italian barman Mattia Dessi, who
appeared briefly on Strange Love. The marriage was not official, because her divorce
from her previous husband was not finalized. But on July 8, 2006 they married
legally, following her divorce from her previous husband. Her maid of honor was
Ivana Trump.
