Johanne Luise Heiberg (Danish pronunciation: [joˈhænə luˈiːsə ˈhɑjˌpɛɐ̯ˀ];^[1] née Pätges; 22 November 1812 – 21 December 1890) was a Danish actress of the 19th century. She is most famous for her work at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen, where she achieved great success. Though she was closely connected to the romantic tradition, Heiberg is still regarded as a key figure of Danish drama. She contributed to the growing public social and moral perception of Danish actors as artists and cultural personalities rather than simply performers.^[2]
