Else Frölich (August 31, 1880 – September 15, 1960), was a Norwegian-Danish star of silent film.

Biography

She was born Eli Marie Thaulow to a Danish mother, Ingeborg Charlotte Gad (1852–1908), and a Norwegian father, the impressionist painter Frits Thaulow. Her paternal grandfather was the wealthy Norwegian pharmacist Harald Thaulow (1815-1881). Her brother was the Norwegian author Harald Thaulow (1887-1971), who wrote under the pseudonym John Hell.

She often acted for the Danish Nordisk Film company, starring alongside Danish actor Valdemar Psilander.

They had one daughter, Ingeborg, in 1904, and divorced after only being married for a year. In 1916 she married Danish film director and screenwriter A. W. Sandberg (1887-1938), and they, too, divorced.
