Helene Louise "Helli" Stehle (6 December 1907 – 27 August 2017) was a Swiss actress and radio presenter.
Stehle was born on 6 December 1907 in Basel, Switzerland. She first achieved fame in Switzerland as a stage actress. She later began working in radio, performing and directing plays and reciting poetry for the state-run radio station, Radiostudio Basel, in her native Basel. In 1939, she became Switzerland's first female newscaster. She never married or had children as - in those days - only single women were allowed to work in state jobs.[3] She was the first female spokeswoman in Radio Beromünster (now known as Radio SRF).[4] [5]
She turned 100 in December 2007. When she died at 109 on 27 August 2017, she was the oldest living person in Switzerland.[6]
