Aud Egede-Nissen was a Norwegian stage and screen actress, and producer. She made her acting debut on the Norwegian stage in 1911, appearing next in Norwegian director Bjørn Bjørnson's 1913 film "Scenens børn".
On 17 February 1932, Norwegian actor and producer Aud Egede-Nissen was interviewed in the Opland Arbeiderblad paper, after she had acquired the film rights to Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson’s novel A Happy Boy/En glad gut.
The contribution of the Egede-Nissen sisters, especially Aud, to silent film in the 1910s is remarkable given the odds they had to overcome as female producers in a male-dominated industry and the lack of tradition and experience in their home country, Norway.
