  ## Early life
  
  Kaspersen was born in Oslo, Norway, and is the daughter of Swedish singer and actress Lill-Babs and Norwegian football goalkeeper Kjell Kaspersen. She grew up in Stockholm with her mother, but often visited her father in Oslo during her free time. Kaspersen made her first acting performance when she was eleven years old. She appeared in the musical Pippi Långstrump (based on Pippi Longstocking) at the theater Folkan in Stockholm alongside her older sister Malin Berghagen.

Her debut as a television host came in 1992 with the Swedish show Station Åre (aired on ZTV), which she appeared on until 1993. In 1993, she hosted Sommar på Gröna Lund on TV4.
