Asta Sofie Amalie Nielsen
was born in the Vesterbro section of Copenhagen, Denmark, the daughter of an often unemployed blacksmith and a washerwoman. Nielsen's family moved several times during her childhood while her father sought employment. They lived for several years in Malmö, Sweden where her father worked in a corn millery and then a factory. After he lost those jobs, they returned to live in the Nørrebro section of Copenhagen.
Nielsen's father died when she was fourteen years old. At the age of eighteen, Nielsen was accepted into the acting school of the Royal Danish Theatre. During her time there, she studied closely with the Royal Danish Actor, Peter Jerndorff.
In 1901, twenty-year-old Nielsen became pregnant and gave birth to her daughter, Jesta.
Nielsen never revealed the identity of the father, and chose to raise her child alone with the help of her mother and older sister.
