Young Danish Valdemar tried to make a success in the theatre when he first appeared on Casino Teater in 1901. He never succeeded on the stage - his voice didn't sound right! But notices were otherwise kind to him.
Psilander was good-looking, charming and exuding a certain joie-de-vivre. He soon abandoned his plans of becoming an opera singer, preferring the new medium of motion pictures in 1910.Soon he became a raving hit all over Europe (especially Russia - but never USA) and his exorbitant salary made him the most successful actor at Nordisk Film.
In an international vox populi he would even out-shine Asta Nielsen, Henny Porten, Max Linder and other stars.Psilander believed in having fun. The enormous amounts of money (pre-income tax) he made, was spent on a care-free way of life with friends and colleagues.
Marrying actress Edith Buemann (1879-1968) in 1911 made no change to his bon-vivant lifestyle. When they separated in 1916 - after long periods of separations - the marriage settlement made her a very wealthy divorcée and she would always speak and write affectionately of Valdemar until she died - even after four marriages.
During this only marriage and after the divorce, he was associated with actress Gudrun Houlberg. They appeared together in "Klovnen", 1917.During the end of 1916 his salary demands were so outrageous that Nordisk Film had to let him go.
He was tired of the same old material and he wanted to form his own production company. After having hired actors, actresses, directors and writers - it all suddenly came to a halt.He died in his suite at Bristol Hotel, Copenhagen, at the age of 32 - at the pinnacle of his career.
To this very day rumors will insist that Psilander took his own life. In 1917 Nordisk Film would suppress the fact that he HAD died, afraid that the truth might hurt ticket sales.However, records have shown that Psilander had a severe heart condition involving a lot of medication.
Combining this with a stressful career as a burgeoning producer ultimately resulted in a brain hemorrhage.But like so many others his early death made him even more popular all over Europe.A notable theater/film colleague had this to say about Psilander: He had a wonderful physique and a splendid face.
He was a great charmer and a ladies hero, but his talent was mediocre if not ordinary.Clara Wieth (1883-1975) - who appeared with him in 11 films - had this to say of Psilander: In front of the camera he would just prance around "putting on airs", but he did it so splendidly with a keen knowledge of camera technique that it was truly believable.
