Bodil Ipsen

Bodil Ipsen was born in Copenhagen in 1889. Trained at the Royal Theatre school, she made her debut there in 1909 and became the greatest Danish actress of the first half of the century, from the classical repertoire to plays of her own time; she acted in films from 1913. From 1942 to 1951 she directed ten films, five of them with Lau Lauritzen junior, and from 1944 held the licence of a Copenhagen cinema. The main Danish film prize, created in 1948, bears her first name. She died in 1964.
