Biography

Henemark was born in Stockholm, to a Nigerian father and a Swedish mother.^[2] She started her modelling career in her teens and later had her own modeling agency.^{[citation needed]} Henemark started her career in music in 1985 by joining Alexander Bard in his Barbie project as Katanga. That project morphed into the group Army of Lovers, and soon Henemark, using the stage name "La Camilla", became the face of the group.^{[citation needed]} After two albums (and at least one public fight) with the group, she left and began a solo career.^{[citation needed]} She released several singles that failed to achieve commercial success, and recorded at least one album that was never released (called Temper).^{[citation needed]} Henemark then rejoined Army of Lovers in 1995 for their Les Greatest Hits album, in 2000 for their Le Grand Docu-Soap and in 2013 reunion album Big Battle of Egos, working with them on some of their most recent recordings until being fired and replaced by another former female member, Dominika Peczynski.^{[citation needed]}

Besides music, Henemark has had an active career in TV and movies, and is an active supporter of the Swedish Social Democratic Party.^{[citation needed]} She is currently single but was married to film director Anders Skog, and had a long-term relationship with pop star and music video director Stakka Bo (Johan Renck).^{[citation needed]} She likes ice hockey and soccer, and is known for her liberal views on sex, gay rights, and life.^{[citation needed]}

On 3 November 2010 the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet published excerpts from a book about the Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf, Den motvillige monarken ("The Reluctant Monarch"), claiming that he had a year-long love affair with Henemark in the late 1990s.^[3]

She has been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Asperger syndrome.^[4]
