Rosalinde Mynster (pronounced [ˈmønˀstɐ]; born 28 September 1990) is a Danish actress best known for her 33-episode role as Fie Kjær, a chambermaid and hotel owner and manager in Badehotellet (subtitled in English as Seaside Hotel).[1]
She graduated in 2009 from Sankt Annæ Gymnasium, a secondary school that emphasizes singing and acting, and which annually stages a musical in its large concert hall. Having studied literature at the University of Southern Denmark, Mynster told a reporter for Jydske Vestkysten, allowed her to "dive into the universe of books" and to do some inward-looking writing herself: “I would like to write absurd but self-deprecating generational portraits for those my own age. We must be able to laugh at ourselves and at the bizarre in portraying ourselves through social media, because as a generation we are very confused, precisely because we were brought up to believe that the whole world is only about us.”[2]
Bemoaning a tendency in young people to spend too much time in front of video screens, she told the interviewer: “We sometimes forget to think for ourselves. Both books and theatre offer opportunities to develop and test our imagination on a higher level, because we ourselves have to arrive at some details and to form mental images. It's insanely important for people to develop that ability and to be able to connect the dots.”[2]
Childhood
Mynster told the Jydske Vestkysten interviewer that her acclaimed actor parents neither encouraged nor discouraged her acting career, saying: “Of gravest significance for them was that I go in with eyes open and that I make my own choices.”[2]
Her mother, Karen-Lise Mynster, has had numerous film and TV roles over a 40-year career; her father, Søren Spanning (1951–2020), also appeared in at least ten motion pictures; her elder brother Jasper Spanning is a cinematographer; and her sister Line Spanning operates a pilates studio in Copenhagen.[3]
Having grown up in a theatrical setting, spending much time backstage, amid backdrops, props and sumptuous costumes, which served as "a playground, a pure, utopian dreamland to explore," Rosalinde Mynster said she would sometimes put makeup on wig mannequins whilst her parents were on stage. Admitting that at first she was somewhat averse to theatre, she said: “When one has grown up with [theatricality], it can easily feel embarrassing because it has such large arm movements. It has been a journey for me to get all the way to where I have begun to embrace the theatrical. In the end, the theater became my playground, where I have been able to try things out."[2]
