Anna Q. Nilsson was one of the very earliest actresses in film to achieve fame, although her name is all but unknown to audiences today.

Buster’s Cameo in Sunset Boulevard (1950)
“Four old silent movie stars, scornfully dubbed “the waxworks” by a young screenwriter, sit around a table playing bridge. The camera turns from hostess Gloria Swanson to Anna Q. Nilsson and H.B. Warner—two faces only the most recondite of silent film buffs will identify—as they make their bids. Then the camera moves on to Buster’s face, lined beneath thin grey hair, grim and yet still strangely innocent. “Pass,” he says, investing the single word with a weight of stoic discouragement. The camera stays on his face through the next round of bidding, and when his turn comes he repeats his monosyllabic line, now with the wistful air of a poor child pretending he doesn’t mind that he isn’t getting a Christmas present.
Director Billy Wilder, a fan of Keaton’s silent films, said that Buster’s real-life passion for bridge was serendipitous (Wilder shared a mania for both bridge and baseball) but that, “I would have taken him even if he never had played cards. I wanted his face.”
Wilder and his co-writer Charles Brackett might have been thinking of Keaton when they penned one of the best-known lines ever spoken about silent movies, Norma’s boast that, “We didn’t need dialogue. We had faces. There just aren’t any faces like that anymore.”
Except from: Buster Keaton: The Persistence of Comedy by Imogen Sara Smith

WIlliam S Hart, Anna Q Nilsson and Richard Headrick in The Toll Gate (1920). Anna was born in Ystad, Sweden, and had 201 acting credits from three 1911 shorts to Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954). Her entries among my best 1,001 movies are They Died with Their Boot On, and Sunset Boulevard, as herself, one of the waxworks. Her other honorable mention is Adams Rib (1949, she was also in a 1923 silent version)
Her other notable credits include The Farmers Daughter, The Boy with Green Hair, Show Boat, and An American in Paris.
