Asta Nielsen
Biography
Asta Sofie Amalie Nielsen (1881–1972) is considered one of the most influential figures in early film history. Born on September 11, 1881, in Copenhagen, she grew up in modest circumstances.

She took acting lessons and gained her first experience at small theaters before becoming a mother to a daughter in 1901. ...
