Anna Q. Nilsson

Anna Quirentia Nilsson (March 30, 1888 – February 11, 1974), Swedish born American actress who achieved success in American silent movies, vintage silver print postcard.  

In 1905, she immigrated to the United States through Ellis Island. In the new country, the Swedish teenager started working as a nursemaid and learned English  quickly. Soon she started working as a model. In 1907, she was named "Most beautiful woman in America." Penrhyn Stanlaws (1877–1957), one of the most successful and sought after cover artists of his day, picked Anna Q. Nilsson to become one of his models.

Nilsson's modeling led her to getting a role in Kalem's 1911 film 'Molly Pitcher.' Films of special note for Anna were 'Regeneration' (1915) 'Seven Keys to Baldpate' (1917), 'Soldiers of Fortune' (1919), 'The Toll Gate' and 'The Luck of the Irish' (both 1920), and 'The Lotus Eater' (1921).
