COP11 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Born on January 17, 1897 in Copenhagen, Denmark. He was a Danish born Swedish actor. Asther grew up in Sweden and attended that Royal Dramatic Theater School in Stockholm. After returning to Copenhagen, he caught the attention of Mauritz Stiller and started appearing in European films. He left for Hollywood and made his first movie in the U.S. in 1927. He took voice lessons to ease his accent, but then he was forced to work in England after an alleged breach of contract which led to a studio based blacklist. He was allowed back in 1941 but his career was dwindling. He returned to Sweden where he acted in films and television until his death in Stockholm on October 13, 1981.
