Biography
Born Hanne Karina Blarke Bayer in Copenhagen, Anna Karina left Denmark at age 18 to pursue a modeling career (for Chanel among others) in Paris. Turning down a supporting role in Breathless (which would have required a nude scene), she appeared in Michel Deville's Ce soir ou jamais (1960) before accepting the lead in Godard's second feature, Le Petit soldat (1960). They married the following year and their cinematic collaboration continued with A Woman is a Woman, My Life to Live, Band of Outsiders, Alphaville, Pierrot le Fou, Made in U.S.A. and Anticipation (in the sketch film The Oldest Profession in the World).
When not working with Godard, Karina appeared in a variety of other films, including Agnčs Varda's Cléo from 5 to 7 (1962), Roger Vadim's La Ronde (1964), Luchino Visconti's The Stranger (1964), as well as Jacques Rivette's controversial La Religieuse (1965). Karina's post-Godard career included many cross-Channel, European and international productions with such directors as George Cukor (Justine, 1969), Tony Richardson (Laughter in the Dark, 1969), Guy Green (The Magus, 1968), J. Lee Thompson (Before Winter Comes, 1968), Volker Schlondorff (Michael Kohlkaas, 1969), André Delvaux (Rendezvous a Bray, 1971), R. W. Fassbinder (Chinese Roulette, 1976), Franco Brusati (Bread and Chocolate, 1973), and Raul Ruiz (Treasure Island, 1986).
Karina has written three novels, starred in a TV musical written for her by Serge Gainsbourg, appeared on stage in a production of Ingmar Bergman's After the Rehearsal and scripted, directed and acted in a feature film, Vivre ensemble (1972). She has had success with a CD, Une histoire d'amour, and a concert tour. Her films include Richard Berry's Moi, Cesar and Jonathan Demme's The Truth About Charlie, in which she appeared singing one of her own songs in a nightclub. In 2001, Karina came to New York to help publicize Rialto's re-release of Godard's Band of Outsiders.
