Asta Nielsen (September 11, 1881 - May 25, 1972) was a Danish film and theater actress. Born and died in Copenhagen. She was the first star to achieve international fame in the history of cinema. Nelson was born into poverty. He began acting in theaters in 1902 and became a famous drama actor in Northern Europe in the early 20th century. In 1910, he became famous for starring in the Danish film "The Abyss" (directed by Obengate). Known as the "Duce of the North" and the "Sarah Bernhardt of Scandinavia". Soon, she applied for a job and went to Berlin. In 1932, after the Nazis came to power, Astaire Nelson retired and returned to Denmark.

Her outstanding acting skills, coupled with her strong and expressive face, deep eyes and slender body, made her a world-renowned tragedian.
