Biography

Aase Madsen Iversen, a talented individual with a passion for storytelling, initially pursued a career as a newspaper photographer, harboring a deep-seated ambition to eventually transition into the esteemed role of a film editor. Her remarkable journey took an unexpected turn when she was offered a part in the 1935 film "Kidnapped", directed by the illustrious Danish filmmaker Alice O'Fredericks. Following her debut in just two Danish films, Osa Massen, as she was now known, was granted a screen test by the prestigious 20th Century Fox, leading her to relocate to the iconic city of Hollywood in 1938, where she would embark on a new chapter in her already burgeoning career.
