In 1894, I was born in rural Finland and raised by a pack of wild chickens until I was twelve. I was then adopted by a milkmaid and sent to school.

In school, I studied acting, as well as the traditional courses like igloo building, ice fishing (and boy could I catch ice), and snowshoeing.

I moved from Finland at the tender age of 13 to Sable Island, where I chased ponies for a year before moving to America.

America has been good to me. I started working in a library but was fired for chewing on all the books.

I began acting, then, at age 14 and have not stopped since.

Now in my 100th year, I look back on life and realize that I should have done more snowshoeing when I had the time.
