Biography

Assi Nortia (Ida Astrid Sarmas, formerly Karjalainen, born Feldmann; 2 September 1925 Vyborg - January 16, 1989 Tampere) was a Finnish actress. Nortia studied at the Sibelius Academy and the Finnish Film Industry Film School in 1943-1945. As an affiliated actress of SF, he worked in 1943–1947. After that he worked in the choir of the Finnish Opera in 1949-1953. Nortia also starred in a number of films from 1944 to 1961, often in the role of a dancer, such as in the movie Night of Rio and Muhos Mimmi. In the minds of the Finns, he remained a dark-haired, exotic beautiful dancer-actress. Nortia gave the soul to a coffee maker named Beautiful Veera. In Finland's first full-length color film, Juhani Aho, based on the classic theme, he played Anja. Nortia was married twice and has two children: Juha Matti Karjalainen (1946) and Sari Anneli Sarmas (1964). From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
