Camilla Henemark Edit Profile

Actor singer

Camilla Henemark, also known as Louisiana Camilla, is a Swedish singer, actress, political spokesperson and former fashion model.

Background

Henemark was born in Stockholm, to a Nigerian mother and a Swedish father.

Career

She started her modeling career in her teens and later had her own modeling agency. Henemark started her career in music in 1985 by joining Alexander Bard in his Barbie project as Katanga. That project morphed into the group Army of Lovers, and soon Louisiana Camilla (as she is best known) became the face of the group.

After two albums (and at least one public fight) with the group, she left and began a solo career.

Henemark then rejoined Army of Lovers in 1995 for their Les Greatest Hits album, in 2000 for their Le Grand Docu-Soap and in 2013 reunion album Big Battle of Egos, working with them on some their most recent recordings until being fired and replaced by another former female member, Dominika Peczynski. Besides music, Henemark has had an active career in television and movies, and is an active supporter of the Swedish Social Democratic Party.

She is currently single but was married to film director Anders Skog, and had a long-term relationship with popular star and music video director Stakka Bo (Johan Renck). She likes ice hockey and association football, and is well known for her liberal views on sex, gay rights, and life.

On 3 November 2010 the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet published excerpts from a book about the Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf, Den motvillige monarken ("The Reluctant Monarch"), claiming that he had a year-long love affair with Henemark in the late 1990s.

Achievements

  • She released several singles that failed to achieve commercial success, and recorded at least one album that was never released (called Temper).

Membership

Henemark was a member of the popular group Happy Hoes.
