In 2001, Lena was nominated for Outstanding Performance by the Cast of a Theatrical Motion Picture for Chocolat.
(edit)
After Lena graduated theater studies, she performed in classic stage plays of Shakespeare and Ibsen.
(edit)
Lena was born as Lena Maria Jonna Olin.
(edit)
Lena played alongside Harrison Ford in the 2003 movie Hollywood Homicide. She was cast as his love interest.
(edit)
Lena's 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).
(edit)
(On having an Alias action figure) Lena Olin: I like that. There weren't many [of them] for the Bergman stuff. He didn't do many action sequences.
(edit)
Lena Olin: I want to show that from the negative, when you dare to see it, the positive is born, because there is the root to the good. I have inside myself, for example, a sharp aggression. But if you remove it, I loose my creativity. I have a great insecurity, but if you remove it, I also lose my sensitivity. Good theater is the theater that can make it a little attractive, a bit cool, to have these dark inner depths. You must be a bit afraid of them. I have a big need of spending time being alone, just to fear these dark sides. We must have secrets. That's why I almost never agree, or rarely, to really personal interviews: you must have large pools, untouched inside yourself.
(edit)
Lena Olin: There are no patterns that lasts a lifetime. Some people can't stand the floating boarders. They decide on one life philosophy and live thereafter. But I've decided not to decide. I don't know everything. I don't understand everything. Both my own and others reactions are often a mystery to me. I let it be that way, hoping that maybe, instead, I can learn to understand the pattern of no patterns.
(edit)
Lena Olin: I've always made a point to do things that people wouldn't expect me to do because I think there is danger in becoming the big actress, the star, because then you have things to protect, and there's no way you can work as an actor protecting things.
(edit)
Lena Olin: We built a house in Sweden and we spend the summers there. We go swimming and play a lot of golf - it's like paradise.
