Early life and career

Hansen, who is of Norwegian ancestry, was born and raised in Tottenville, Staten Island, New York City, the youngest of six children. She was discovered by photographer Peter Gert at age 14. After Gert took Hansen to a party hosted by Wilhelmina Cooper, former model and owner of the Wilhelmina Models, Cooper signed the teen to her agency. Hansen soon moved to Manhattan, enrolled at the Professional Children's School in Manhattan (she would later drop out), and began landing modeling jobs. [1] [2]

During Hansen's modeling career, she appeared on the covers and in the pages of Seventeen , American Vogue , Cosmopolitan , Glamour , and Harper's Bazaar .

She appeared in only three feature films, including the 1981 romantic comedy They All Laughed , directed by Peter Bogdanovich, and 1984's Hard to Hold , directed by Larry Peerce and starring Rick Springfield. In 1993, Hansen returned to modeling when designer Calvin Klein used 1970s-era models for his 1993 collection. [4] She was presented on the November 1999 Millennium cover of American Vogue as one of the "Modern Muses". [5] In 2004, Hansen, along with daughters Alexandra and Theodora, were featured in ads for Guerlain's perfume Shalimar Light. [6] In February 2019, she walked the runway for Michael Kors for his Studio 54-inspired Fall 2019 collection. [7]
