Name Tuva Novotny Born Stockholm. Sweden. 1979 Background Novotny has been gaining recognition in Europe for some time. having made her cinematic debut in 1997's Tic T80. and being voted Sweden‘s second most beautiful woman in men's magazine Slitz the following year. More importantly, perhaps. she was also nominated for the Best Swedish Actress Award in 2002. Influenced by her Czech heritage (her father's side). she spent a year in Prague studying at a film and theatre school. but had problems with the language and ultimately found the experience disappointing. Undeterred. her acting career kicked off with a role in Swedish soap opera Ski/da var/dar. from which she progressed to other TV shows. including the somewhat heavier Herr von Hancken.
What’s she up to now? Novotny can currently be seen turning up the heat in Brian Jones biopic Stoned. as the dead rocker's then girlfriend Anna Wohlin. She's also been back in Sweden working on Bang Bang Orangutang. as well as spending time filming upcoming New Zealand comedy No 2.
What she says about researching Anna Wohlln 'I grew up with the Stones. I loved them. But I barely knew of Brian. and I didn't know anything about Anna. So when I met Stephen [Woolley]. he put me in the office with a pile of books and said. “Read!”
Interesting tact Before her acting success. Novotny also graced the stage in various bands. from blues collectives to Swedish rockers the Rambo Allstars.
I Stoned is on selected release from Fri 18 Nov.
