Early life and education
My was raised in Kalmar by her parents, about whom not a lot is known as she respects their privacy; it’s said that her father was the owner of a used car dealership, and that her mother was a housewife. Because My hasn’t spoken of having any siblings, it’s believed that she’s an only child.
She grew up wanting to become a nurse, and thus focused on her studies; My was amongst the best students at her high school, and was interested in a couple of activities during her four years there, including acting with its drama club and dancing.
Upon matriculating in 1974, My enrolled at college, from which she graduated with a medical degree in 1978.

As of April 2022, My seems to be single, was married to Stellan Skarsgård, and has six children with him.
