Career
editJärnefelt entered the Helsinki Theatre Academy right from high school in 1983. There, she began studying in the dance line. In her own words, a career as a professional dancer proved too demanding, both physically and mentally. She managed to switch to an acting career.[2] She graduated from the HTA in 1988, after which she was attached to the Lilla Teatern.[3]
In addition to theater, Järnefelt has starred in films and television series, including Jurism!,[4] Formally Qualified, Easy Life, and Sincerely Yours in Cold Blood.[5] She has portrayed several many well-known Finnish personalities, such as Ida Aalberg in the drama documentary If You Made Horses Jump in Her Stalls and Anneli Jäätteenmäki in The Prime Minister.[6] In 2012, Järnefelt starred as a Lithuanian criminal in the Swedish crime film Johan Falk: Organizatsija Karayan.[7]
Personal life
editSince 1990, Järnefelt has been married to actor Asko Sarkola.[8] She has three daughters.[9]
