Her roles included Esther in Henri Nathansen's play Indenfor Murene (Inside the Walls), the title role (and later Herlofs-Marte) in Hans Wiers-Jenssen's play Anne Pedersdotter, and Mrs. Higgins in George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion. Selmer appeared in several Norwegian films and performed in many broadcasts of NRK's Radio Theater. She played Eline in Henrik Ibsen's Lady Inger of Ostrat at the Central Theater in a production in which Agnes Mowinckel played the title role. The production premiered on November 17, 1921. Two years later, Selmer played the green-clad woman in Peer Gynt at the National Theatre in Oslo. In 1928 she played Hjørdis in The Vikings at Helgeland in 44 productions across Norway during the Bjørnevik Theater's Ibsen tour. Filmography
