| JOHANNE DYBWAD (1867-1950) Portrait of the actress from a bust made by Per Ung. The bust is located at the front of "The National Theatre" in Oslo. Dybwad was attached to this  theatre almost her whole
life as artist. In 1947 she retired after 60 years on the stage, admired at home and in
Europe  as the most outstanding
theatre actress in Scandinavia. She was specially known for her strong portrayal of women
characters in the plays by Ibsen and Shakespeare. She managed to give life to these
figures with her soul, strong fantasy and passion in a way she always will be remembered
in the history of theatre. |
