Sara Dögg Ásgeirsdóttir (born December 1976) is an Icelandic actress. She has had major roles in a number of Icelandic films and TV series, and in 2013 won the Edda Award for Best Leading Actress for Pressa. Sara was born and grew up on the family farm in Skeiða- og Gnúpverjahreppur. She attended Fjölbrautaskólinn í Breiðholti from the age of 16, in the media track, and after a half year in France studying French, enrolled at the University of Iceland to study psychology. After her first film role, she returned to France, living in Paris, and then studied acting in Iceland at the Iceland University of the Arts, graduating in 2005. Her first acting role was as the female lead, Þurildur, in Hrafn Gunnlaugsson's Witchcraft (2000), for which she auditioned successfully in 1997 when she was 19 and in her first year of university, with no training in acting; she later told an interviewer she had been too shy to join her school's drama club. While studying acting, she had supporting roles in two further films, Kaldaljós and the short Hver er Barði? (Who is Bardi?) (both 2004).[7] On graduation, she was offered a place in a theatre company in Akureyri, but took time off to have her first child. She resumed work with an independent theatre company, and in following years worked in a variety of acting jobs, including for the Reykjavík City Theatre, while also working as a flight attendant for Flugfélag Íslands.
