    Asta Nielsen looks like a scary android in that pic! Or a mannequin. *Shiver*

    Maybe she's the lost sixth replicant from Blade Runner.

    Actually, she's in costume as the title character from the 1921 movie version of Hamlet. There she wasn't just an actress playing a man, she played Hamlet as a woman disguised as a man. Or so I've read. I haven't seen it. It isn't available for purchase, but it is floating around YouTube here. In German, without subtitles. But, you know, it's not like there's a lot of dialogue in Hamlet ...
