Happy Birthday Connie Nielsen!

Happy Birthday Connie Nielsen!  Her 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, Nielsen was in the sci fi action film Soldier (1998) stranded on an alien planet.  She 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, Nielsen had her break through role as Lucilla in Gladiator (2000).  In 2002, she played Nina Yorkin in the thriller, One Hour Photo.  



Connie Nielsen had a role as Detective Dani Beck in 2006 episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.  Then, Nielsen starred as Meredith Kane in the television drama Boss (2011-2012).  She 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).  Nielsen perfectly embodied the leader of the Amazons.  She is in the biography, The Catcher Was a Spy (2018).  This year, she was in the mini-series, I Am the Night, playing Corinna Hodel, who wraps her niece, Fauna, into the dark world of a tense Los Angeles.  Next year, she returns as Hippolyta in Wonder Woman 1984!  Happy Birthday Connie Nielsen!
