She graduated from Teaterhøyskolen (the Theater Academy), and has since acted in various roles on stage, film and television.

Her brother is the musician Lage Fosheim, known from the band The Monroes. She is married to André Wienskol originally from France whom she met when she was 21.[3] Together they have two sons.[1] Her oldest son, Tobias, has had a role on the Norwegian TV-series Nr. 13.[4]
