August 29, 1979 (46 years)
Barbara Rothenborg was born in Copenhagen, Denmark on August 29, 1979 and started her film and television career as an actress at the age of 6. She had the title role in "Nana", which obtained cult status and won a bronze prize in New York in 1988 for best children's television series and received many Danish awards as well.

Over the next years Barbara starred in 9 films, produced several documentary programs and created her own show "Barbara's Galaxy". She started directing at age 19 and was commissioned to direct short films for Danish television.

After living in Bali for some months, Barbara moved to Los Angeles at age 21. She started a career as a 1st AD. She used her many AD contacts with actors and crew to start directing more short films and since 2006 Barbara has been making a living from writing, directing and producing.

Barbara's passion for film and television began at an early age since growing up on sets. Her desire to tell stories and create a universe that people can escape to, has lead her from her original path of acting to her love of writing and directing.
