	Asta Nielsen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Asta Sofie Amalie Nielsen (September 11, 1883 - May 24, 1972), also known as Die Asta, was a Danish actress, mostly appearing in German silent films during the 1910s and 1920s.
		She was born in Vesterbro, Copenhagen to a coppersmith Father and a washerwoman Mother.
		Nielsen and Gad soon married and then moved to Germany because her talent was not understood by Danish film industry.

	FemBio: notable women / Asta Nielsen
		Nielsen needed a sense of humor, too, especially during her childhood and youth, which she spent in extreme poverty.
		Asta faithfully reports this in her autobiography but otherwise would hear nothing against her mother, who worked herself to the bone for her daughters and fought for them with the fierceness of a lioness.
		Asta Nielsen wrote not a single word about her beloved daughter Jesta or her two marriages in her memoirs.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Asta Nielsen
		The spiritual godmother of these women was Asta Nielsen, an unjustly forgotten Danish silent movie actress who is often called "the first great international star." Asta, or "Die Asta" — never "Asta Nielsen" or "Miss Nielsen" — made 74 films between 1910 and 1932.
		But Asta brings a subtle twist to her version not by playing a man, but by playing a woman disguised as a man, adding another level of gender complexity.
		Asta brilliantly imparts the gender-unstable nature of the character in these scenes with Horatio and others with Fortinbras, whose encounters with Hamlet are also clearly coded as gay.

		Nielsen acts in a powerful and dramatic way the owner of a copper mine, of which the resources are depleted in the meantime.
		By 1916, La Nielsen could already look back – both financially and artistically – on a successful career that had begun in Germany at the Projektions-AG Union where she was not only contracted as an actress but also as the co-producer of her films.
		Again and again, La Nielsen portrays the conflicts faced by women in a patriarchal society and the collision of their emotions with the ruthlessness of the male bourgeois world.

		It was also in 1911 that the Danish actress Asta Nielsen (1881-1972) went to Germany together with her husband, the director Urban Gad (1879-1947).
		Asta Nielsen's first German film was Nachtfalter (Moth, 1911) which was followed by many others like Der fremde Vogel (The Strange Bird, 1911), Die arme Jenny (Poor Jenny, 1911/12), Das Mädchen ohne Vaterland (The Girl Without Native Country, 1912), Engelein (Little Angel, 1913), Die Suffragette (The Suffragette, 1913) and Die ewige Nacht (Eternal Night, 1914).
		All these films were directed by her husband Urban Gad, but the success, in the first place, was due to Asta Nielsen whose shading interpretation and deliberate gesture made her a great star long before the star epoch.

	The Joyless Street
		Asta Nielsen portrays Marie as a slightly “retarded”, faded beauty, face caked with too much make-up and in love with the much younger Egon.
		As M. Fonseca so astutely stated: “'Asta Nielsen' means the power to speak of pathos, to see pain, and to find the middle path between Baudelaire's flower of evil and the sick rose of which Blake sang.” (1)
		Garbo's performance, in contrast to Nielsen's, imbues her character with great vitality, something that is lacking from her more detached Hollywood persona.

	Pola Negri - Links Page
		There are bios on Pola Negri, Asta Nielsen, and Henny Porten, as well as Pola’s leading man Harry Liedtke and the forgotten actress Ossi Oswalda, who appeared in several of Lubitsch’s German comedies, such as Die Austernprinzessin (The Oyster Princess), Die Puppe (The Doll) and Meyer Aus Berlin (Meyer from Berlin) (all from 1919).
		Interestingly enough, Asta Nielsen's most-seen film today, The Joyless Street, is not one of her signature films—that honor would have to be split between Hamlet (1920), which you can get from Peter Kavel (I highly recommend it), and Vanina (1922), which is still locked up in the German archives.
		Entitled Asta Nielsen: The Talking Muse, this Danish language, English-subtitled documentary centers around a newly-discovered stash of phone conversations with Asta dating from the 1950’s, which provide a previously unseen glimpse into the otherwise notoriously impenetrable heart and soul of Die Asta.

	DVDBeaver.com - Review "Afgrunden" SF Film - Region 2 - PAL
		As Hitler came to power, Asta Nielsen chose to remove herself from Germany and thus also from her career.
		It is because of these, more than 200 often hour long, conversations, which Frede and Asta had from 1957 to 1959, documentarist Torben Skjødt Jensen was able to create “The talking Muse”, where he, combined with her interviews, recreates Asta Nielsen as a real person.
		He approached her with the image of her as the diva, but during the interviews, the real Asta shows herself, as a person with emotions and worries, in short a human being.

	SELECTIONS from the American Museum of Photography™
		The film may be The Abyss, released in the U.S. in 1912 under the title Woman Always Pays.
		It was the first movie starring the Danish actress Asta Nielsen, of whom Greta Garbo would say "she taught me everything I know." Unfortunately, Woman Always Pays was savagely cut by American censors, who excised Nielsen's erotic dance sequences.
		On another level, the figures seem to be blocking the entrance to this promised land of dreams.
