Early Life and Education

Marie-Louise Coninck is now, at the age of 89, and she was born on 8 December 1936 in Copenhagen.

She trained at Aalborg Teater’s acting school (elevskole), with records describing her time there as running from 1956 to 1958. After that, she continued her studies in Oslo, completing training at the State theatre school there in 1959.

Personal Life

Marie-Louise Coninck was married to actor Baard Owe, and their marriage became notable in Danish media not because it was treated as celebrity spectacle, but because it lasted for decades. In 2017, the couple were married for 60 years before Owe’s death.

They had four children: David Owe, Anja Owe, Rebekka Owe, and Benjamin Owe. David, Anja, and Rebekka followed the same industry path as trained actors.

Career

Marie-Louise Coninck’s career began in the 1960s, and she established herself early through Danish films that were widely seen at the time.

She appeared in multiple entries connected to the Næsbygaard series, where she played Erna, the maid, and she also took parts in films such as Tine and Jensen længe leve!.

These were the types of productions that made her a familiar face in Danish cinema during a period when recurring ensemble players were central to popular local film culture.

While film brought visibility, her working life was not limited to the screen. She was affiliated with several theatres over time, including Fiolteatret, Gladsaxe Teater, and Hvidovre Teater.

That theatre-based continuity helps explain how she sustained a long career even when film roles were often small, practical character parts rather than headline leads.

From the 1970s into the 1990s, she continued balancing film with television work, including Danish TV films and series. A recurring theme in the roles listed in film databases is that she frequently played grounded figures—mothers, working women, or everyday characters—parts that rely on credibility more than spectacle.
