In
Okay (2002), director and actress Paprika Steen shows off her multi-
faceted acting talent as the loud-mouthed control freak Nete. This is her first
major part for which she has already been nominated for the Best Actress
Award from the European Film Academy. She has won the Danish Academy
Award for her supporting role in the mega-hit Den eneste ene (The One and
Only, 1999).
These nominations attest to Paprika Steen's strong performances, given in a
number of smaller, but memorable parts, for example as an upper-class snob
in
The Idiots (1998) (The Idiots), a touchingly nerdy beautician in
The One and Only (1999) (The Only One), and as a strong, slightly-neurotic sister in
the mega-hit
The Celebration (1998) (The Celebration).
Steen's considerable dramatic talent and potential is reinforced by a
strong sense of humor that shines through in her work. While audiences
may laugh hard, Steen remains sympathetic to the characters she
portrays. The web of intertwined character flaws and potential is
revealed with a light touch. It is the empathy that she evokes for her
characters that makes her work memorable.
