Elly Elisa Sørensen Smed (27 November 1914 – 24 November 1944) was a Danish film and stage actress. At 19, she made her debut in Den lille Butik at Det Ny Teater in Copenhagen. Among her most successful films were Thummelumsen (1941) and Biskoppen (1944). As a result of trying to reduce weight, she died of eating disorders when she was only 30, a month after she had performed to full houses at Folketeatret in William Saroyan's Livet er jo dejligt.[1][2][3]
