Laila Elin Goody is a Norwegian actress born on 22 March 1971 in Stavanger. She grew up in Rosendal, Hordaland, between ages two and ten before returning to Stavanger, where she attended Stavanger Katedralskole. After graduating from the Norwegian National Academy of Theatre in 1994, she spent nine years at the National Theatre before transitioning to guest performances at Trøndelag Teater and Centralteatret starting in 2003.
Her theatre work defined her early career, with landmark roles including the title role in Friedrich Schiller's Mary Stuart, "Hilde" in Henrik Ibsen's The Lady from the Sea, and "Catherine" in David Auburn's Proof. Her 2006 double role as "Shen Te" and "Shui Ta" in Bertolt Brecht's The Good Person of Sezuan drew critical acclaim as "excellent" and "the most important reason" to watch the production. Film and television work accelerated from 2003 onward, with leading roles in Jonny Vang (2003) and Den som frykter ulven (2004). In 2002, she won the television award Gullruten for her role in the Ibsen drama "Rosmersholm", and was nominated for an Amanda Award for the same performance. In 2013, she won the Amanda Award for Best Actress for I Belong.
