His Mother, Brigitte Nielsen
Brigitte Nielsen is a name synonymous with 80s action films and flamboyant reality TV. She has lived this journey over 40 years as proof of her strength and dynamic persona.
Born Gitte Nielsen in Denmark in 1963, details of her upbringing and education are somewhat private. But she began modeling in her teens and was photographed by Helmut Newton and Greg Gorman. Her statuesque 6 foot figure earned her the nickname the Amazon – a moniker that would become synonymous with her on-screen persona.
Nielsen started acting in the mid-80s. She acted as a warrior princess in the fantasy adventure Red Sonja. By virtue of her size and steely gaze she was cast as Ludmilla Drago, Ivan Drago’s wife in boxing film Rocky IV (1985). That role solidified her image as an action heroine.
The next year Nielsen acted with Sylvester Stallone, with whom she had a brief marriage, in the action film Cobra – which was commercially successful, but mixed in critical reception. Still acting in the late 80s and early 90s, she acted in films like “Beverly Hills Cop II” (1987) and in the Italian fantasy series Fantaghiro. But many of these projects fell under B-movie classification.
Yet Nielsen embraced the changing entertainment landscape. The new millennium brought her reality television. In 2003 she appeared in “The Surreal Life” with other fading celebrities. The show documented their attempts to resurrect their careers, and Nielsen’s sometimes fiery personality and fraught relationship with rapper Flavor Flav provided much entertainment.
This entry into reality TV opened doors for later appearances on shows like “Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School” (2007) and “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew “(2008), the latter chronicling her alcohol addiction. Amazingly honest, Nielsen described her struggles.
The acting never left Nielsen – despite the reality TV focus. In 2018 she starred as Ludmilla Drago again in “Creed II,” a nostalgic return for “Rocky” fans. Recent work includes Danish and German productions.
Beyond entertainment, Nielsen’s private life has gotten attention of the media. Her five marriages have been to men – most recently to Sylvester Stallone in a whirlwind romance. In 2008, she married then-husband Mattia Dessi and welcomed a daughter via IVF – a move that many assumed would be unachievable for women of her age – 45. This act sparked conversations about motherhood and breaking rules of age.
Today at 61, Brigitte Nielsen is still a force to be reckoned with. She has amassed around USD 7 million net worth through various endeavors. She also continues to take on life and its challenges and opportunities, always with a positive attitude and no apologies.
