Happy Birthday Connie Nielsen!

Happy Birthday Connie Nielsen!  Connie’s first film was in the Jerry Lewis French comedy, Par où t'es rentré ? On t'a pas vu sortir (1984) translated as How Did You Get In? We Didn't See You Leave.  Her first US film was The Devil’s Advocate (1997) co-starring with Al Pacino in the horror film.  Then, Connie was in the sci fi action film Soldier (1998) stranded on an alien planet.  Connie followed it up with Brian De Palma’s brilliant sci fi tale, Mission to Mars (2000) alongside Gary Sinise and Don Cheadle.  I find it more fascinating than The Martian (2015).  



Next, Connie had her break through role as Lucilla in Gladiator (2000). She had a role as Detective Dani Beck in 2006 episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.  Then, Connie starred as Meredith Kane in the television drama Boss (2011-2012). Connie had the role of cult leader, Lily Gray, in The Following (2014).  In The Good Wife she played Ramona Lytton from 2014-2015.  She returned to genre films playing Queen Hippolyta in Wonder Woman (2017) and also Justice League (2017).  Connie perfectly embodied the leader of the Amazons.  This year, she is in the biography, The Catcher Was a Spy.  Happy Birthday Connie Nielsen!
