Biography
Fosheim graduated from the Norwegian National Academy of Theatre, after which she appeared in various roles on stage, film, and television. Rather than working under a permanent contract with any particular theater, she worked as a freelancer.[3] In the 1980s and 90s she became a well known face on Norwegian television, frequently appearing in comedy shows playing stereotypically dim character, with her most famous role being Vigdis Reverud in the sitcom Karl & Co from 1998 to 2001. In her later career, she also had success writing historical books for children about composers, like Mozart, Grieg and Vivaldi.[2] She also ran Barne- og ungdomsteateret (The Children and Youth Theatre), an educational institution with 170 children, from her home in Oslo, [4]
Her brother was the musician Lage Fosheim, known from the band The Monroes. She was married to André Wienskol – originally from France – whom she met when she was 21.[5] Together they have two sons.[2] They remained married until her death. Their oldest son, Tobias, also had a small role on the Norwegian TV-series Nr. 13.[6]
Death
Fosheim was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer in early 2018, and died from the illness on 7 June 2018, aged 62.[1]
