In any profession, the continuity of generations allows a particular person to achieve significant results in life. Hera Hilmarsdottir honorably continues the work of her parents, who also achieved fame in the past.
Starting conditions
Almost every actress has to wait for her finest hour. As a result of what events it will come, no one knows. Hera Hilmarsdottir was born on December 27, 1988 in a family of creative intelligentsia. Parents at that time lived in the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik. My father was engaged in directing. Mother played in the theater and acted in films. When the couple had a child, she quit her career and took up household chores. From an early age Gera was in a cozy and friendly atmosphere. It is not at all surprising that the girl wanted to become an actress.
The adults did not discourage Hera, but rather unobtrusively stimulated interest in the future profession. The debut appearance on the set took place in 1995, when the promising actress turned seven years old. She performed a cameo role in the film "Stone Tears", which was filmed by her father. Three years later, she appeared on the screen in the film "Without a trace". The head of the family objectively assessed his daughter's abilities and “signed” her an unspoken ticket to the big cinema.
The path to the profession
After graduating from school, Hilmarsdottir went to receive a specialized education at the London Academy of Dramatic Art. This educational institution has long been considered a "forge of personnel" for theaters and film studios around the world. Returning to the land of Iceland, the certified actress has completely passed the procedure for selecting performers for the next film project. She passed and brilliantly performed the main role in the film "Two Birds" about the first unhappy love.
The next significant stage in the work of Hilmarsdottir was the socio-psychological thriller "On the Seven Winds". The task of the performer was to show the suffering of a person traumatized by society, without external effects and ostentatious expression. The actress has realized all the plans of the director. After a short period of time, Hera gained recognition from the audience by playing in the American-British TV series "Da Vinci's Demons". In this project, her partners were the famous American stars Laura Haddock and James Faulkner.
Recognition and privacy
On the set, Hera has always worked with full dedication. The time has come and her efforts and creativity have been appreciated. In 2015, Hilmarsdottir won the annual Berlin Film Festival's Most Talented Aspiring Actress Award. From that moment on, she began to give preference to films of a psychological theme.
Gera does not like to talk about his personal life. It is clear that a critical age is approaching for her as a woman. There are many males around, but there is no candidate for husbands.
