Eva Gram Schjoldager (born 8 May 1966) is a Danish actress and child star. In 1981, Shjoldager received international attention for her leading role as the bullied schoolgirl, Elin, in Nils Malmros's coming-of-age drama Tree of Knowledge (Kundskabens træ). Filming for the role was performed over a two-year period, while Schjoldager was 13 to 15 years old, to realistically show her character's physical and emotional maturation. Afterward, Schjoldager appeared in only one other film: Malmros' 1983 drama Skønheden og udyret (Beauty and the Beast). She decided to leave acting after completing an education in psychology from Århus University in 1998.[1] In 2001, she was living with her husband and children and working as a human resource manager for a software firm in Denmark.[1]
