Helena Christensen (December 25, 1968 - ) is a fashion model or Supermodel. She was born in Copenhagen, Denmark to a Danish father and Peruvian mother.
She stepped into the limelight in 1986 by claiming the title of Miss Denmark, allowing her to represent her country at the Miss Universe pageant. This provided an invaluable springboard to launch herself as an international model.
Ironically, it was not Christensen's modeling that launched her to true iconic status. In 1991, she was featured prominently in a music video for the Chris Isaak song "Wicked Game." In the video, she is depicted as Isaak's lover. Christensen is topless for much of the video, though her nudity is relatively concealed with clever camera angles. It was decided that full frontal nudity would not be suitabile for mainstream release. Viewers still reacted to Christensen's sexually suggestive performance, and the video was later featured on MTV's 'Sexiest Video of All-Time'.
Helena divides her time between homes in Copenhagen and New York.
