About Harriet Bosse in brief
Harriet Sofie Bosse was a Swedish–Norwegian actress. She is most commonly remembered as the third wife of the playwright August Strindberg. Bosse married Swedish actor Anders Gunnar Wingard in 1908, and Swedish screen actor, director, and matinee idol Edvin Adolphson in 1927. All three of her marriages ended in divorce after a few years, leaving her with a daughter by Strindburg and a son by Wingård. After retiring after a high-profile acting career based in Stockholm, she returned to her roots in Oslo. She died of a heart attack at the age of 83. She was buried in Oslo, Norway. She had been married to Strind Berg for three years before his death in 1901. She left behind a son, a daughter, a son-in-law, a grandson and a great-great-granddaughter. She also had a daughter with another man, who later died in a car crash. She wrote a number of plays, including Romeo and Juliet and The Red Room. In 1890, she wrote a play about the Swedish socialist muckraker Vraker, who had risen to fame with his satire on the Swedish establishment, The Red Vuck. In 1899, she was engaged by the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm to star in the play Gustafasa by Gustafsen, where she became a sensation. She later wrote a biography of the Swedish dramatist, which has been published in two editions, including a new edition of the first volume of her memoirs, The Life of Harriet Bosse, published by Simon & Schuster, with a foreword written by her sister Alma Fahlstrøm.
The second volume of the biography is published by the same publisher, and is available in hardback and paperback. It is also available in audio and video form.
