Berit Marianne Frodi (born 19 April 1926) is a Swedish actress, singer and director.[1]
Frodi was born in April 1926 in Gothenburg. She was the daughter of Roland Frodi (died 1975), a shipowner[2] and Vanja Dymling (died 1987). Her youngest sisters, Barbro Frodi (died 2017), was a television producer[3] and Ittla Frodi (died 2003) was an actress.[4]
She began her stage career as a student soloist in Storan's choir[5] in Gothenburg in 1947 and entered the pupil school at Gothenburg City Theater in 1950.[6] One of the most remarkable roles in cinema was Lena Hagen in drama-detective film Girl without a name (1954).[7] Frodi's career as an actress and singer ended when she married the conductor Gunnar Staern.[8] The two first met at Gävle city theater in September 1957 and married on 3 February 1960. Eventually, she set out a new career path as, among other things, a director. During the 1980s, she worked primarily as a theater teacher at the student schools in Gothenburg and as an instructor around the country. She retired in 1991.
