Personal Life
Stensgaard was married to art director Tony Curtis. She left acting in 1972, went to live in the U.S. and had a son called Sten. She became a devoted Christian and for years worked at a radio station, selling air time and refusing to discuss her acting career. She was tracked down by a Danish horror fan, Nicolas Barbano, eventually agreed to an interview (which appeared in Video Watchdog), and soon after was guest of honor at a horror convention.
Her image continues to decorate the covers of a great number of book and magazine publications, for instance Marcus Hearn's coffee table book Hammer Glamour (2009), which contains a chapter on her.
