| Biography |
New Year's Day in 1964 brought
the world an amazing beauty. Famke Janssen was born in Amsterdam,
Holland. Her two sisters are blonde and blue-eyed, while she is
the only brunette. "I felt different born into a family with two
sisters who are blonde and blue-eyed, with me being the only brunette".
She began her professional career as a model in Amsterdam but
work for Chanel and other clients brought had her packing and
on a jet plane for New York City.
Life as a model wasn't intellectually
stimulating for Ms. Janssen, so she enrolled at Columbia University
to study writing and literature. Famke is quite intelligent, and
says her favorite authors are the Brontė sisters, Vladimir Nabokov,
and Jean Rhys. Just two years later, though, her career in acting
had begun to take off, so Famke left Columbia. She began studying
acting with Harold Guskin.
