OSLO, NORWAY (AP) - A leading Norwegian actress Wenche Foss has died in hospital after a long illness. She was 93.
Since her debut in 1935, Foss acted in numerous roles in the theater and Norwegian films. She was also a major figure in the Scandinavian country’s social circles and championed various causes, including cancer awareness.
Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg described Foss as “one of our dearest actors.”
A spokesman for the family said Foss died on Monday with her family around her.
She is survived by a son, Oslo Mayor Fabian Stang, and two grandchildren.
