KatiOutinen (born August 17, 1961 in Helsinki) is a Finnish actress who has often played leading female roles in Aki Kaurismäki's films.
Having studied under Jouko Turkka during his "reign" of drama studies in Finland, she nevertheless has never been associated with the "turkkalaisuus" school of acting methodology.
Besides a strong domestic reputation gained through a widely varied list of roles in theater and television drama, film director Aki Kaurismäki's films have brought KatiOutinen international attention and even adulation, particularly in Germany and France.
After studying at the Helsinki Higher School of Dramatic Art, KatiOutinen left in 1984 and worked for ten years at the Kom Theatre.
Outinen has also worked with other Finnish directors like

Like the match factory girl also portrayed by Outinen in Kaurismäki's film of the same name, she lives a life of grinding tedium and indignities.
Neither young nor old, yet radiating a quiet beauty, Outinen spins this wonderful character out of the finest wisps of action and expression, and this role has won her the Best Actress award at Cannes.
The blossoming romance is but one element of the man's plucky reconstitution of his life, as he also takes on a project to manage the Salvation Army's young band, a four-piece combo that he introduces to American music (via his jukebox) and grooms for local stardom, playing at first to the local homeless population.

A man (Markku Peltola) awakens after a brutal mugging with no memory; he wanders into the outskirts of Helsinki with his face wrapped like an escapee from a classic horror film.
Though bureaucrats and policemen who can\'t seem to cope with this amnesiac\'s lack of established identity, the amnesiac plants potatoes, manages a rock and roll band, and romances Irma as he builds a new self.
The most compact and stylistically impressive of Aki Kaurismäki\'s perversely minimalist Finnish comedies, <em>The Match Factory Girl</em> stars his blond, blank-faced Garbo, KatiOutinen, as a downtrodden factory worker whose attempts to discover love and companionship are constantly thwarted by her possessive parents and a succession of cloddish, exploitative men.

With no prospects and nothing from his previous life to remind him of who he is or where he came from, he is soon taken in by the local community, populated by people who live in empty tractor trailors.
When he begins helping out at the Salvation Army, he strikes up a romance with co-worker Irma (KatiOutinen), that which is complicated by the man's past, and the question of whether or not he is already committed to someone else.
The film's overall message is one of friendship and community, of finding a sense of self and belonging in the camaraderie of those close to you.

Aki Kaurismäki's THE MAN WITHOUT A PAST begins with horrible violence, but after that it becomes a longing, beautiful study of love and loneliness, of pain and poverty, of faith and fragility.
Markku Peltola stars as the amnesiac known only as M; KatiOutinen plays Irma with great care and tenderness for which she won the Best Actress Award at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival.
Finnish writer-director-producer Kaurismäki's film won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes; it is wonderfully satiric, sweet and innocent, and brutally honest, following in the footsteps of such other Kaurismäki triumphs as JUHA and THE MATCH FACTORY GIRL.
