Biography

Lindstrøm was born on 12 January 1858 in Copenhagen, the son of a Swedish tailor, and first apprenticed as a wine merchant before turning to acting.[1] He had his debut on 3 December 1880 in Stavanger and was then affiliated to Dagmarteatret for many years from its opening, before he moved on to Folketeatret where he was expected to succeed J. F. S. Dorph-Petersen as theatre director. However, a fashionable controversy with Dorph-Petersen regarding his wife's notice from the theatre prompted him to resign.[2]

He was then hired by a development company, Bona, to head the establishment of Det Ny Teater. On its opening in 1908, it was the second largest and most advanced theatre in Denmark but he left after three years due to an insignificant debt.[2]

That same year he had his debut on film and after that appeared sporadically in films from various companies. In the first half of 1920 he worked for Nordisk Film and had minor roles in two Carl Theodor Dreyer films, Leaves from Satan's Book (produced 1919, released 1921) and Master of the House (1925).[3]

Active until his death in 1926, his two last appearances were in Ole & Axel films for the Palladium production company.[3] He is buried in Frederiksberg Cemetery.

gollark: I doubt they could just fake clinical trials somehow and get all the regulators to go along with it.
gollark: The reason I think the assumption isn't great is that people see each other in multiple gatherings and so one person being infected means others are more likely to be and vice versa
gollark: It replicates what <@215706991748841473>'s code does. Also, I'm not sure exactly what you're saying.
gollark: (the code makes the same simplifying assumption anyway)
gollark: I'm pretty sure that (assuming the probability of each person at the gathering having COVID-19 is independent and just equal to the fraction of the population which us infected, which is not true but important to simplify) the number of people at the gathering who have it follows the binomial distribution.
