Imagine leaving your country and heading for a whole new life in Hollywood at the age of 19 — would you be able to take that kind of leap of faith? Becoming a successful actor is much more difficult than most realize, so the fact that Helena Mattsson has only been on the scene for a few years and starred opposite actors such as Bruce Willis, Robert Downey Jr. and Alexander Skarsgård (True Blood) is nothing short of amazing.
Helena’s lucky streak continued when she landed a recurring role on Desperate Housewives as Preston Scavo’s conniving bride-to-be (and major thorn in Lynette’s side). Although her character met a dramatic end, Mattsson’s career continues to press forward as she stars opposite Robert Downey Jr. in the blockbuster Iron Man 2.
