| Nadia Alexandra Björlin (actually Björlin) (born August 2, 1980) is a Swedish actress. Bjorlin was born in Newport, Rhode Island, but lived in Sweden until the age of 7. Her father was the Swedish composer and conductor Ulf Björlin (1933-1993). Her mother, Fary, whose background is Persian, is an interior decorator. Nadia speaks Swedish, Farsi, French, Italian, Russian and English and can sing in other languages as well. She is also renowned for her singing skills. When her family moved to West Palm Beach, Florida, she attended the Palm Beach County School of the Arts (now Dreyfoos School of the arts) along with her brothers Ulf and Jean Paul, where she excelled in music and theater. All three siblings have found success in show business since graduation. Her major exposure has been on the soap opera Days of Our Lives, where she first appeared as the character Chloe Lane in December 1999. At first, Chloe was portrayed as a nerdy and geeky kind of girl with big glasses. Eventually, her character developed into a quiet beauty who could also sing. She also developed a crush on Brady Black, portrayed by actor Kyle Lowder. Bjorlin originally left Days in June 2003 to concentrate on her singing career. Her character moved to Europe to be an opera star. Bjorlin returned on a recurring basis in November 2004 after her character supposedly had a disfiguring car accident. In September 2005, Bjorlin left Days of Our Lives again and joined the cast of the UPN series UPN Sex, Love and Secrets in the fall of 2005. Nadia will also appear in the 2007 Maxim/Stuff calendar, available in the fall of 2006. Bjorlin often makes appearances on the Fishbowl radio program 'Coming Out with Reichen', hosted by her good friend Reichen Lehmkuhl. Fishbowl Radio Network is an Internet radio station for reality television alumni. |
