Mauseth attracted a lot of attention for a nude scene in the 1997 movie Brent av frost, where she and co-star Stig Henrik Hoff had sex on a pile of fish in a row boat. For the role she won the "Best Début" Amanda Award in 1998.^[4] A controversy erupted when the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) later showed the scene out of context and without permission.^[5] NRK was originally convicted for unauthorised use of the clip, then acquitted in a court of appeal as being within Norway's right to quote doctrine,^[6] but then finally convicted by the Supreme Court.^[7]
