Childhood and education

Mathilda spent her entire childhood alongside her parents in Paris – her father, Victor Haim is a playwright, while her mother Margareta Hanson is originally from Sweden, and worked as a ballet teacher and choreographer. It appears that Mathilda is an only child as she hasn’t spoken about having any siblings.

Mathilda grew up being interested in dance rather than in acting – she competed in numerous contests while her biggest achievement was winning the Premier Prix du Conservatoire de Dance de Paris when she was 16. She was very popular during the years she spent at high school as she was very attractive and a great dancer – the popularity of her parents helped as well. Rumors have it that many boys from her high school wanted to date, her but it is not known whether or not she was seeing anyone during those four years.

After she matriculated from high school, Mathilda decided to focus on her acting career rather than to enroll at college and pursue a degree.

Career of an actress

Mathilda’s career was launched soon after she matriculated – it took her a while to win her first role, but her parents were there to help her.

Almost all the films Mathilda has appeared in are in French, and created specifically for Europe. She appeared in her first TV series in 1983 entitled “Weißblaue Geschichten”, and then won roles in “Nemo” in 1984 and “Lifeforce” in 1985. In the US, Mathilda is mostly popular thanks to her role in “Lifeforce”, in which she played an alien vampire and is mostly naked throughout the movie – she is also popular for appearing in the space adventure video game “Privateer 2: The Darkening”, which was released in 1996, and for her role of Isabella in “The Jackal” film shot in 1997, in which she played alongside Richard Gere and Bruce Willis.

Mathilda’s most recent works include “The Players” and “Clash” shot in 2012, and “La Croisiere” and “Delit de fuite” shot in 2013 – it appears that she hasn’t been seen on TV screens since 2013, and it is not known what has she been doing in the meantime.

“Lifeforce” movie

Mathilda gained international recognition only thanks to her appearance in the “Lifeforce” British science fiction horror movie shot in 1985.

It is closely based on “The Space Vampires” novel, by Colin Wilson  released in 1976, and follows the crew of the “Churchill” spaceship who find a huge alien spaceship hidden next to Halley’s Comet. They enter the ship only to find a lot of bat-like creatures dead, as well as three naked aliens who are put into suspended animation – the “Churchill” ship goes on its way towards Earth with the three aliens, however, they lose contact with Earth and a rescue ship is sent to see what is going on.

The rescue party finds the ship in bad shape with the containers in which the aliens are held being completely intact. They are taken to a research center located in London, however, the female alien wakes up and kills a guard before escaping and taking shape as a human. After excessive research, they find out that one of the crew members of the “Churchill” ship tried to destroy the ship on purpose to save the Earth from the aliens, and he tells them about these aliens, how dangerous they are, and how he is now mentally linked to the female alien.
