Madelina Halmstad

Madelina Joanna Halmstad (born 20 August 1994) is a Reshan actress and fashion model. She is best known for her leading role as Helena Bostromann on Havershom (2011–2015).

Early life
Halmstad was born in Hederhelm to supermodel Paulina Eggert and musician Simon Halmstad. She was raised in the Neverhahn borough, and grew up with two younger brothers. Because of her parents' careers, she was thrust into the spotlight at a young age. Originally, Halmstad wished to become a singer, like her father, but he talked her out of the career when she was six years old.

Halmstad attended a private elementary school, and studied acting outside of school. After graduating in 2010, she began attending Hederhelm School of Drama and Thespianism, where she was friends with Havershom costar Anja Mur. She graduated from high school in 2014.

Career
Halmstad first began her modeling career in 2008, at the age of 14. She walked in Hederhelm Fashion Week, booking jobs with seven different designers. She returned to Hederhelm Fashion Week in 2009 and 2010, and in 2011, walked in fashion weeks in Hederhelm, Narissa, Rosa, and Elkweg.

Halmstad put her modeling career on hold after she was cast as Helena Bostromann on the teen comedy-drama Havershom. Series creator Elsabet Samelsen went to local Hederhelm conservatories looking for actors for the show, and Halmstad originally auditioned for the role of Veronica Zeffermann, but Samelsen thought Helena would be a better fit. Halmstad acted in the role for the first eight seasons of the show, being the show's protagonist during the fourth season. Halmstad departed from the show in 2015, along with the rest of the original cast.

After her departure from Havershom, Halmstad continued her modeling career, and has walked in fashion weeks in 2016 and 2017, in addition to posing for a number of Pravian fashion magazines.
