	Regeneration/Young Romance - DVD film: Totaltiorden.dk
		Anna Q Nilsson plays a beautiful society lady who falls for Fellowes and sets out to lead him away from his life of crime.
		The plot is a stock tale of a hood (Rockliffe Fellowes, who has a true mug's face) reformed by a social worker (Anna Q. Nilsson, a silent star with some resemblance to Leelee Sobieski), but Walsh got the grime of the slums into the very grain of the photography.
		Even though his co-star is the beautiful Anna Q. Nillson, you can't keep your eyes off Rockliffe who is so charismatic in his performance I'm surprised there weren't mob scenes because he is so...sexy and magnetic.

	ANNA MAY WONG - Trail-Blazer Example of Asian American Artistry in Films!
		Anna May Wong's contribution to show business is a unique one; she was the first Asian female to become a star, achieving that stardom at a time when bias against her race was crushing.
		TAlthough Anna was fascinated by the land of her forebears, even meeting with her father's first wife and son, she realized she was far too westernized to remain long.
		She was Anna May Wong, nee Wong Liu Tsong, a name which translates to "Frosted Yellow Willows," and she was born, appropriately enough, on Flower Street in Los Angeles' Chinatown on 3 January 1905, above her father's laundry.

	Scandinavian Review: Hollywood's Nordic Women
		From, Anna Q. Nilsson to Connie Nielsen, Scandinavian actresses have crossed the Atlantic to leave their marks on American films.
		The first Scandinavian woman to make an impact on American screens was Anna Q. Nilsson, who crossed the Atlantic in 1911 to star in the silent Molly Pitcher.
		Until the coming of Garbo, Nilsson had only one serious Scandivanian rival in Hollywood as a leading lady-Betty Nansen (nee Muller) of Denmark, Nansen was already established in her native country as a prominent Ibsen actress on both stage and screen before coming to the U.S. in 1915.

	Ystad : Introduction
		Devotees of the silent screen know of Ystad as the birthplace of Valentino's "beautiful blond Viking" Anna Q. Nilsson, who was born here in 1890 and whose fame at one time was greater than that of Greta Garbo, a fellow Swede.
		Some of Nilsson's greatest films were In the Heart of a Fool (1921); Ponjola (1923), in which she played a boy; and Midnight Lovers, finished in 1925, the year of a horseback-riding accident that ended her career.
		An important port during the Middle Ages, Ystad retains its ancient look, with about 300 half-timbered houses, mazes of narrow lanes -- even a watchman who sounds the hours of the night in the tower of St. Mary's Church.

	William S. Hart commentary
		Anna Q. Nilsson is well-chosen for the "good woman" role, a more mature choice than many of Hart's earlier leading ladies.
		He said, "Anna Q. Nilsson would approach genuineness as his heroine if she did not use a Broadway makeup in her scenes of primitive life at the Mexican border."
		Nilsson was 32 years of age at the time.

		Lovely Anna Q. Nilsson is a pleasure to watch, but Rockcliffe Fellows’ ugly mug looks more at home in a Dick Tracy comic strip than on a movie screen, even though he is portraying a thug.
		Marie Deering (Anna Q. Nilsson) is the daughter of a society family who would love to see a gangster — they seem like such interesting people.
		Many of the extras in the film were actual slum dwellers from the city streets Walsh chose for locations.

	MovieMaker Magazine Issue #50 Profile: Comedy in the Oddest Places
		Ever since Anna Q. Nilsson starred in the 1911 production of Molly Pitcher, there has been some degree of Scandinavian presence in American cinema.
		The most conspicuous representation has been among actors, specifically three Swedish performers—Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman and Max von Sydow—who, between them, describe the full arc of the Hollywood sound film.

	sunsetboulevard
		In a chilling scene, card playing guests, friends of Norma's from the silent days, are harshly referred to by the cynical Joe as "The Waxworks." The has-been players are Buster Keaton, Anna Q. Nilsson, and H.B. Warner.
		The weak-willed Joe bites at the offer and soon finds himself with a new wardrobe, an expensive watch, plenty of booze, and a rent free spot in her home, where the toy boy is treated almost as a captive.
		Joe is overwhelmed with depression at Norma's unrealistic talk of the past and her unreal fantasy of returning to the screen with her former friend DeMille directing her comeback (known to be a tyrant in real-life but here DeMille lets Norma down in a gentle manner).

	From the Collection of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum
		Movie houses of the era used lantern slides such as this to promote the 1927 film Babe Comes Home, a predictable baseball success story starring Babe Ruth, Anna Q. Nilsson and Louise Fazenda.
		Though Ruth was clearly the main attraction, Nilsson was a veteran of nearly 150 films and later became the first Swedish actress (or actor) to earn a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
		Fazenda, too, was a longtime screen actress, who eventually married Hollywood legend Hal B. Wallis, producer of such film classics as The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca.
