Background

She was born on 31 March 1966. Her parents were typographer Ole Christansen and Ann Patricia Coleman. Her birth name was Lenina Christiansen. Officially she was never named Linse Kessler. In 2019 she changed her name to Coleman which was her mothers maiden name. The name change was according to the Danish magazine BT to give her better business opportunities - she has now created care products.

Career

Kessler gained popularity in Denmark through her acquisition of breast implants. Beginning in 1991, Kessler began getting breast augmentation surgeries. Her first set of implants augmentated each of her breasts to 340 cc of silicone. Kessler gradually continued to make her breasts bigger throughout the 1990s, from 340 cc to 420 cc, then 800 cc, then 1,200 cc and finally 1,600 cc. [1] In 1999, Kessler was featured in Extrem, a Danish TV documentary series, in which she is followed and called "Denmark's Largest Breasts".

In 2004, Kessler made her acting debut in a Danish mainstream crime film, Pusher II: With Blood on My Hands . In the film, Kessler plays a minor role as Jeanette, a gangster's ex-wife and prostitute, who is targeted for murder. In 2005, Kessler reprised her role as Jeanette in Pusher 3 , in which her character is now a pimp involved in sex trafficking. In 2009, Kessler played another minor role as a seductive mistress in Nedenunder, a short film directed by Anne-Grethe Bjarup Riis.

In 2008, Kessler announced that she would be having breast reduction surgery, to remove 400 cc of silicone from her implants. According to Kessler, she wanted to make her implants smaller because of her retirement from modeling. [2]
