Family

Lila Lykke-Seest was the daughter of the warehouse worker Jens Martin Andersen (1841–1917) and Andrine Fredrikke Johnsen (1842–1913). In 1903 she married the writer, film producer, and film director Peter Lykke-Seest (1868–1948).[4] They were the parents of the actor Esben Lykke-Seest (1905–1988).[5]

Career

Lykke-Seest published two children's books in 1906, Lulli and Vetle-Kari, under the pseudonym Lila. Her debut work Lulli is a story from Kristiania, a so-called Backfischroman (teenage girl novel) about teenage life and flirting.[6] The story in Vetle-Kari, which was published later the same year, takes place in the countryside.[7]

She later appeared in two of her husband's silent films. She played the lead role in the 1918 film Lodsens datter, and the following year she played a minor role in Æresgjesten as Edvard's mother in the third of the so-called "Esben films". Her son Esben Lykke-Seest played the role of Edvard in the film.[8] She also played the mother in the film Historien om en gut.
