Solveig Haugan

Solveig Haugan (1901–1953) was a Norwegian stage and movie actress.

Solveig Haugan was born in Trondheim, Norway. She appeared most notably on the stage in the Trøndelag Teater production of På Kobberstad and the Det Norske Teatret production of Ungen from the book Ungen : folkeliv i 4 akter (Oslo : Aschehoug, 1911) written by Oskar Braaten.[1]

Today, Solveig Haugan is best remembered for her performance as Maja in the film Gryr i Norden released in Norway in 1939. Gryr i Norden was based on the true story of Norway's first labor strike by female workers (fyrstikkarbeiderstreiken i Kristiania) during 1889 at the Østre Aker match factory of Bryn og Grønvolds Tændstikfabriker in Oslo during 1889. The film was written and directed by Norwegian filmmaker Olav Dalgard. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
