Anna Kirstine Bloch (née Lindemann; 2 February 1868, in Horsens â€"
25 November 1953, in Copenhagen) was a Danish actress.Anna Lindemann's
mother Bodil Margrethe Gylding (1838â€"1875) died when she was seven
years old. Her father Johan Sørensen Lindemann (1825â€"1909) was a
doctor in Horsens. She was taught privately, and consistently showed
an enthusiasm for the theatre. Her father regarded acting as an
unsuitable profession but eventually allowed her to join the Royal
Danish Theatre after talking to its general director Edvard
Fallesen.At the Royal Theatre, Anna Lindemann was a student of Emil
Poulsen [da] and debuted in 1885 as Titania in William Shakespeare's A
Midsummer Night's Dream. Between her first two roles she was taught by
her husband to be, William Bloch [da]. Together they wrote Miss Nelly
in 1886, in which she later played the main role. After their marriage
in Summer 1887, she took her husband's surname.Anna Bloch's
breakthrough came in 1888 as Trine in April Fools by Johan Ludvig
Heiberg. Literary historian Peter Hansen [da] credits her with the
"phenomenal run of 31 performances" of this modernised revival of the
1826 original. Another early role was that of Hilde in Ibsen's The
Lady from the Sea in 1889.
