Anna Easteden enjoys a career rich in experience and wide in range as
an international model, TV, stage and screen actress, and humanitarian
activist.
Easteden is known for her performance as Bee Sting on “Who Wants to
Be a Superhero?” as well as notable co-starring roles on “Bones,” “Days
Of Our Lives” and “Passions.” She also played Nicole Brown Simpson in a
Japanese TV movie and took on a lead role in the short film “Harmless,”
winner of 2 prestigious film festival awards.
Personally recruited by multi-award winning director Mika Kaurismaki
(who’s directed the likes of Johnny Depp, Julie Delpy and Henry Thomas),
Easteden is slated to star in his upcoming feature film “The House of
Branching Love” (“Haarautuvan Rakkauden Talo”) set for release in her
native Finland in Fall 2009. Easteden will also work alongside Oscar®
nominee Rinko Kikuchi (“Babel”) in the Japanese remake of the
Oscar®-winning American phenomenon “Sideways” – currently in
post-production for a 2009 release.
Easteden was born in Finland and raised on her parents’ dairy farm.
At the early age of twelve, Anna’s career took its first major stride
when she won a national modeling contest and appeared on her first
Finnish magazine cover. Shortly thereafter, Anna received an
international modeling contract with a major Japanese modeling agency
and promptly relocated to Tokyo where she appeared in advertising
campaigns for such mammoth international corporations as Sony, Phillips,
Oricom and Wacoal – to name a few.
Easteden’s modeling career next swept her off to such global
destinations as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia,
Indonesia, New Zealand, Slovakia, Guam and finally the United States.
Once on US soil, Easteden quickly landed a series of major modeling gigs
with Calvin Klein, Hermès, Salvatore Ferragamo, Diesel, T-Mobile, Avon,
Jockey, Chevy and Nissan – and has been featured in such magazines as
Cosmopolitan, Harper’s Bazaar and Marie Claire. Easteden’s interests
also include those in the humanitarian arena. Not something one might
expect from a fashion model, Easteden conducted a comparative legal
research study on the different aspects of asylum procedures in selected
European countries for United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
(UNHCR) in Bratislava, Slovakia. Her research impacted the Slovak
National Asylum Legislation, which was in the process of amendment. Anna
then continued her work in Bratislava, with an international partner of
The Foundation for a Civil Society (USA), where she involved herself in
the “Citizen Campaign OK ’98″ for free and fair elections.
Easteden currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband. In
addition to her modeling and acting, Easteden enjoys traveling, cooking,
writing, and lending a humanitarian hand to a number of her favorite
non-profit organizations.
