Arlene Dahl på besøk i Buvika 2003. Her sammen med sin tremenning.... Sønn av tremenningen - Georg Sandvik - sendte meg dette i 2016.
OUR VINES HAVE TENDER GRAPES 1945 - Agnes Moorehead, Edward G Robinson, Margaret O`Brien, Jackie Butch Jenkins
Peder Larsson(a Swede), his wife Sigrid Swangrønning, Anne Brobak holding her grandchild, a very young future actress ARLENE DAHL and Anne`s husband Johan Svangrønning.
Arlene`s mother Ingeborg died before Arlene reached womanhood and her father was Rudolf Dahl. Her parents seperated when she was quite young and when her stepmother made it clear she didn`t like her, she was on her own from her teens and proved to be a born survivor.
She still speaks and writes in our language. Indeed she taught her son Lorenzo the prayer "I Jesu Navn Går Vi Til Bords", but when he said the prayer in a Norwegian TV-show, Gylne Tider 2005, it was quite clear he had forgotten how to pronounce it, but he heralded his Mum`s Norwegian meatballs and that while growing up, her gløgg got him drunk during the christmas season.
Arlene Dahl interviewed 2007:
Your parents were both Norwegians...
Yes, but they separated and when mother died, I moved back to my father. I had graduated from High school when I was fifteen and intended to go to the University of Minnesota. When my father re-married my stepmother did not want me around. She made it possible for me to go to Chicago. [laughs] There I was, working as a model and living with three roommates in Chicago. They worked with me also in the Sportsman Show in Minneapolis. I was a model in Chicago for a month or two, and assistant buyer. And it was my boss who took me to New York for the first time as a buyer. During my trips to New York I had some time off. I bought a newspaper, Variety, which wrote about the musicals on Broadway. I had studied musicals and singing at the Minneapolis College. And, so I went there on occasions, out of the blue. [laughs] I don't know what made me do this. But I did it. I decided to take a chance. I was in New York, so why not? I got up and I sang... and I got the part. I got a principal part on Broadway in that musical Mr. Strauss goes to Boston
