Karl Stegger was one of the greatest Danish actors. Karl Stegger was born: Carl Johan Stegger Sørensen. He later replaced the "c" in his first name with a "k" to further his acting-career. He was born in Aarhus on the January 11th 1911. Stegger was educated at Aarhus theatre, where he was hired as an actor for 5 years until 1951. After 1951 he worked at various theatres all around Denmark. But Karl Stegger was mostly famous for his various, and mostly, bi-roles in Danish films and TV. Karl Stegger had his film debut in 1950 with smaller role in [Smedestræde 4]. Stegger subsequently acted in well over 160 films (almost everyone Danish), where he mostly played down-to-earth and sly types. Stegger seldom had a lead part in any film. He became famous in Denmark when he got the part of the father in the Danish film-series: "Far til Fire" in 1955, after Ib Schønberg died (who originally had the part). Another famous part he had was as the scrap dealer in "Olsen-banden i Jylland" from 1971. In 1971 he got a Danish film-price, a "Bodil", for a role as a real-estate salesman in "Ballade på Christianshavn". In his later years, Stegger became even more famous for his role as the Swedish-consul in the Danish TV-epic "Matador". His last role was in 1980 in "Trællenes børn".

One of the most important Danish directors of the last three decades and one of Danish cinema's few acknowledged auteurs, Malmros took his inspiration from the french new wave and Truffaut in particular. He started as a self taught director and debuted with En mærkelig kærlighed (1968) which is an amateur film that has not been in distribution since its premiere. His career got going with the largely selffinanced Lars Ole, 5c (1973) which, like his next films, was based on his own childhood experiences in Aarhus. His flair for depicting the pains and bittersweet troubles of early adolescence raised him to the status of a leading director in Denmark. Drenge (1977) ("Boys") was a description of the evolvement of male sexuality from the early pre-puberty experimentations to the grown man's sexual ventures. Tree of Knowledge (1981) delved into the group dynamics and the first love experiences of teenagers in an Aarhus public school and is widely praised as a masterpiece and his finest work. Beauty and the Beast (1983) ("Beauty and the Beast") told the tale of a father's protectiveness of his teenage daughter with only the sligtest incestous undercurrents. _Århus by night (1989)_ is a meta-film about a director from the province meeting the cynical Copenhagen crew inspired from the making of Drenge. Pain of Love (1992) ("Pains of love") is about a lively young high school girl who falls in love with her teacher. They become a couple and when she becomes pregnant the dark sides of her personality begin to appear. Barbara (1997) is his first film based on a literary work and a departure from the highly personal tone in his other films.- Actress

- Ole Lund Kirkegaard is arguably the most successful Danish children's book author ever. Between 1967 and 1975, he wrote no fewer than 6 classics:
"Lille Virgil" (Little Virgil), 1967; "Albert", 1968; "Orla Frøsnapper" (Orla Frog-eater), 1969; "Hodja fra Pjort" (Hodja from Pjort), 1970; "Otto er et næsehorn" (Otto is a rhinoceros), 1972 and perhaps his biggest success: "Gummi-Tarzan" (Rubber Tarzan) from 1975, portraying the miserable life of a small, skinny, weak and untalented boy named Ivan Olsen.
All of these six books have since been adapted, either by the film industry or by the theater.
Ole grew up with good and liberal parents, who allowed the playful boy to explore his fantasies. His father Niels, a dentist, and his mother Ellen let him set up a circus in their garden and to cut out totem poles to play cowboys and indians.
Ole went to high school at Aarhus Katedralskole. This is also where he met his wife Anne Lise with whom he had two daughters: Maya og Nana. After graduating, Ole went sailing but quickly discovered that he got sea sick easily. He quit that job after a year and started studying to be teacher. Meanwhile, he married Anne Lise. After he graduated, while Anne Lise finished her studies (also teacher), Ole served as a soldier at Garderhusarerne in Næstved (mounted troops), and he actually attained the rank of Lieutenant. After Anne Lise graduated, they both got jobs at a little school in the small town of Oue, near Hobro.
Ole loved writing children's literature and sometimes read his stories to his pupils. From 1973 onwards, he decided to become a full time author. He also spent time traveling the country giving lectures.
Unfortunately, he also became an alcoholic as time went by, a fact verified by his wife, who divorced him (under peaceful conditions) some three months before his unfortunate and untimely death. Rumours of suicide had circulated but were dismissed by his wife, who could tell the real story as verified by the coroner.
On the evening of March 24, 1979, he spent some time at a local inn after giving a lecture. He got rather drunk and on his way back home, he took sick and passed out in the snow. He died from the ensuing hypothermia.
The works of Ole Lund Kirkegaard has long since become compulsory in any child's bookshelf, and his timeless stories will probably continue to be loved all over Denmark. His premature death was a great loss for Danish literature, but his books live on as a testament to a truly brilliant author of children's books. - Producer
