- Gerda Krum-Juncker had a tragic life. She was born into the theater, her father being Ballet Master Jacob Daniel Krum and her mother Johanne Krum-Hunderup. Debut at Folketeatret 1897. At Århus Teater 1901-1905 where she enjoyed great success in numerous operettas. Her father had committed suicide when she was only nine. Her first husband - also and actor - was 20 years her senior but with a fiercely jealous streak. When he saw Gerda's success on stage with her singing partner, he drew a gun on her back at their hotel room. He missed her twice but then turned the gun on himself and died mortally wounded. She enjoyed a few happy years with her second husband - a barrister - but that soon changed when their 15 year old daughter was killed in a motorbike accident. Her husband got so depressed that he put a gun to his head. The attempt failed and he lost his eye-sight. Gerda retired to nurse him for the rest of his life. Her career at Nordisk Film was very promising (she made two appearances with Valdemar Psilander) but this vivacious actress made only half a dozen films between 1911 and 1914.
