Astrid Villaume (3 November 1923 â€" 12 February 1995) was a Danish

actress of stage and film best known for her Bodil Award-winning title

role in the 1950 film Susanne. Danish film historian Morten Piil

described Villaume's appeal as a combination of "warm mother figure,

romantic heroine and innocent erotic dream girl."Astrid Villaume, the

daughter of a pharmacist, was born 3 November 1923 in Aalestrup near

Viborg, Denmark. While in her late teens, Villaume performed as an

acrobat in Danish revues. She attended the drama school at the Odense

Theater from 1939 to 1941, and made her debut on stage there in the

play Under Krigen (English: In The War). She enjoyed success as a

stage actress during the next six years, however she applied to return

to the drama school at the Det Kongelige Teater (Royal Danish Theatre)

in 1947. After an audition, she was accepted and attended classes

another two years. When asked why she would want to attend drama

school twice, Villaume said simply, "Because I thought I needed

it."She debuted at the Royal Danish Theatre in the role of Stine

Isenkræmmer in Barselsstuen and from July 1949 Villaume was

permanently employed there. Over the years she performed a variety of

roles including Mary Tyrone in Long Days Journey into Night, the title

role in Anna Sophie Hedvig, Magdalone in Mascarade, and Linda Loman in

Death of a Salesman. Villaume also enjoyed great popularity as a film

actress. For her first leading role, as the beautiful baker's daughter

in the 1950 film Susanne, Villaume was awarded the Bodil for Best

Actress. Villaume went on to perform in 39 films as well as television

and radio; one of her films, Qivitoq, was nominated for the Academy

Award for Best Foreign Film. She also provided the voices for the

Danish language versions of Disney's Alice in Wonderland and Peter

Pan.
