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, Nielsenwas in the sci fi action film Soldier (1998) stranded on an alien planet. Nielsen 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. Nielsen was in the comedy film, The Ice Harvest (2005).  She had a role as Detective Dani Beck in 2006 episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.  Then, Nielsenstarred as Meredith Kane in the television drama Boss (2011-2012). Nielsen 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.  Nielsen was in the horror film, Sea Fever (2019).  She returns as Hippolyta in Wonder Woman 1984!  Happy Birthday Connie Nielsen!
