Anna Quirentia Nilsson (March 30, 1888 – February 11, 1974) was a Swedish-American actress who achieved success in American silent movies...In 1923, she was severely burned while filming a scene in which she drove a locomotive through a forest fire for Hearts Aflame ... In 1928, she set a record for fan mail, some 30,000 letters per month ... The following year, as she was horse riding, she fell off the horse, was thrown against a stone wall and broke her hip. After a year of hard training, she was on her feet again.... Nilsson has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6150 Hollywood Boulevard for her contribution to motion pictures. She was the first Swedish-born actress to receive such an honor [Wikipedia].
