In the early 1990s, she enrolled at Columbia University's School of General Studies to study creative writing and literature.{{Cite web|last=Ruyle|first=Megan|date=8 May 2012|title=Famke Janssen|url=https://thehill.com/capital-living/my-5-minutes-with-the-president/258423-famke-janssen|access-date=25 June 2020|website=TheHill|language=en}}{{Cite web|title=The Owl Magazine|url=https://gs.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/content/News/columbia-gs-owl-magazine-2009.pdf|access-date=25 June 2020|website=Columbia University School of General Studies}}
Career
{{Update section|date=August 2024}}
In 1984, Janssen moved to the United States to begin her professional career as a fashion model. She signed with Elite Model Management and worked for Yves Saint Laurent, Giorgio Armani, Chanel, and Victoria's Secret. She starred in a 1988 commercial for the perfume Exclamation by Coty.{{cite web | title = Famke Janssen Exclamation perfume commercial | date = 24 March 2009 | via = YouTube | url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZVWblJ2utI | access-date = 16 October 2011}} Her looks have been compared to 1940s movie stars like Hedy Lamarr.
After retiring from modelling in the early 1990s, Janssen had guest roles on several television series, including a role in the 1992 Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Perfect Mate", as empathic metamorph Kamala, opposite Patrick Stewart, with whom she later starred in the X-Men film series. That same year, Janssen was offered the role of Jadzia Dax in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,{{cite web | title = X-Men's Famke Janssen Changed Star Trek: DS9's Trills, Says Dax Actress | url = https://screenrant.com/star-trek-ds9-famke-janssen-tng-trill-change | work = Screen Rant | date = 7 December 2023 | access-date = 16 March 2024}} but turned it down to pursue film roles. Her first film role was alongside Jeff Goldblum in the 1992 crime drama film Fathers & Sons.
In 1995, Janssen appeared in Pierce Brosnan's debut James Bond film, GoldenEye, as femme fatale Xenia Onatopp. She appeared in Lord of Illusions with Scott Bakula. In an attempt to fight against typecasting after her Bond girl performance, Janssen began seeking out more intriguing support roles, appearing in John Irvin's City of Industry, Woody Allen's Celebrity, Robert Altman's The Gingerbread Man, and Ted Demme's Monument Ave.{{cite web |url=https://www.pbs.org/kcet/tavissmiley/archive/200805/20080506_janssen.html |access-date=16 October 2011 |title=Famke Janssen on Tavis Smiley |work=PBS |date=6 May 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100523213246/http://www.pbs.org/kcet/tavissmiley/archive/200805/20080506_janssen.html |archive-date=23 May 2010 }} Denis Leary, her co-star in Monument Ave., was impressed by how easily she blended in, initially not recognizing her, as she was already in character. In the late 1990s, she appeared in The Faculty, Rounders, Deep Rising, and House on Haunted Hill.
In 2000, Janssen played superhero Dr. Jean Grey in the 20th Century Fox film X-Men. She later reprised the role in the 2003 sequel, X2, where her character shows signs of increasing powers, but at the end of the film, she is presumably killed. Janssen returns as Jean, whose death in X2 awoke her dark alternate personality, Phoenix, in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). For that role, she won a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress.{{cite web |url=http://www.newnetherlandinstitute.org/history-and-heritage/dutch_americans/famke-janssen/ |title=Famke Janssen [1965] Stage and Screen Performer |publisher=New Netherland Institute |access-date=2 May 2016 |quote=In 2007, she won three awards, the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress...}} She returned as Jean in the 2013 film The Wolverine as a hallucination of Wolverine,{{cite web|author1=Robert Yaniz Jr.|title='The Wolverine': Hugh Jackman on Jean Grey's Return|url=https://screenrant.com/wolverine-hugh-jackman-jean-grey-famke-janssen/|work=Screen Rant|date=29 March 2013|access-date=24 June 2014}} followed by a brief cameo for X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014).{{cite news|first=Rob|last=Keyes|title=Famke Janssen on 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' Return: 'Stay Tuned'|url=https://screenrant.com/x-men-days-of-future-past-famke-janssen-jean-grey/|work=Screen Rant|date=1 October 2012|access-date=24 June 2014}}{{cite news|first=Marc|last=Malkin|title=X-Men: How Famke Janssen Kept Her Days of Future Past Cameo a Secret|url=http://www.eonline.com/news/546666/x-men-how-famke-janssen-kept-her-days-of-future-past-cameo-a-secret|work=E!

Janssen continued to work in television, appearing in TV pilots for NBC's police drama Winters and Showtime's The Farm, a spinoff of The L Word set in a women's prison. Both pilots were rejected by their networks. Janssen provided the Dutch language narration for the Studio Tram Tour at all Disney theme parks.
In 2011, Janssen made her directorial debut with the drama Bringing Up Bobby. She wrote the screenplay to the film, which stars Milla Jovovich, Bill Pullman, and Marcia Cross.{{cite news | first = Joan | last = Gilmore | title = Around Town: Bobby crew at JRB gallery | newspaper = The Journal Record | date = 5 August 2010 | url = http://journalrecord.com/2010/08/05/around-town-bobby-opinion/ | access-date = 16 October 2011}} She reprised her role as Lenore Mills in Taken 2 (2012) and Taken 3 (2014).
