Marie Hedemark

Marie "Maja" Hedemark (March 24, 1873 – August 8, 1959) was a Norwegian actress.

Family

Hedemark was the daughter of the teacher Emil Bernhard Olsen (1842–1897) and Severine Mathilde Heidenstrøm. She was born in Kristiania (now Oslo), Norway. She married the actor Hans Ingi Hedemark on December 23, 1905.

Career

Hedemark made her debut at the Fahlstrøm Theater in 1899 under the name Marie Heiden, a name derived from her mother's maiden name. She was associated with that theater until it closed in 1911. She was employed at the Central Theater from 1911 until around 1942.

Hedemark made her film debut in 1926 in Den nye lensmannen. In the 1930s she appeared in seven more films, including Fantegutten (1932), Lalla vinner! (1932), and Bør Børson Jr. (1938), which was her last film role. In the 1930s, Hedemark was also active at the Oslo New Theater.
