Thea Stabell (born 4 July 1939), née Dorothea Jessie Pierstorff, is a Norwegian actress. Stabell's mother was American, and her father worked for the Foreign Service. As a result, she had a nomadic lifestyle growing up, living in both the United States, France and Belgium.[1] She graduated from the Norwegian National Academy of Theatre in 1964, and had her début the same year in the play BoyfriendatOslo Nye Teater.[2] She has since acted both at Torshovteatret, Hålogaland Teater and Nationaltheatret (the National Theatre), while all the while working as an instructor at Teaterhøyskolen. In 2006 she was hired as a professor here, as the first of her kind with an acting background, not an academic one.[2]
Among the general public Stabell is best remembered for her role as "Ingrid Femte" in the 1972 comedy Norske byggeklosser.[2] She has also acted in other well-known Norwegian movies, such as Balladen om mestertyven Ole Høiland (1970) and Mannen som ikke kunne le (1968), and more recently also in TV-series, among these "Seks som oss" (2005–2007) and "Ved kongens bord" (2005).[3] Stabell is married and has one daughter.[1]
