[edit] Biography
Inger Margueritha Stender, born June 7 1912 in Copenhagen, Denmark, was the daughter of a baker from Valby. She attended drama classes from 1929 to 1931 at the student schools for the Komediehuset (Comedy House) and Det Ny Teater (The New Theater), then made her stage debut at Det Ny Teater on April 24, 1931 in the role of Flora in C.E. Soya's Kendt Navne.
Her biography at the Danish Film Institute describes Stender as blonde, beautiful and sophisticated with an almost aristocratic elegance yet a naughty glint in her eyes. The Institute refers to her as the Danish version of Marlene Dietrich. [1]
Beginning in the 1930's, Stender was an actress for several stage companies throughout Denmark, including the Riddersalen, Odense Theater, Apollo Theater, Aalborg Theater and Aarhus Theater. She was a prolific and versatile stage actress, playing roles in Uncle Tom's Cabin, Tartuffe, and Henry IV as well as cabarets and comedies. In one season alone at the Odense Theater (1934-1935), Stender played 14 leading roles and received critical success as The Ship's Boy in Alle Mand på Dæk (All Hands on Deck). Stender also became a operetta star when she sang the title role in Den Skønne Helene (The Beautiful Helena) and was Zorina in Zorina.
Stender made her film debut in 1931 as the daughter Rosa in Hotel Paradis. She went on to make 38 films over a span of six decades. Stender's final role was in the popular Danish television series Matador.
Stender married Mogens Flindt-Larsen in 1935 and they had two sons together. She divorced in 1940, and thereafter maintained a lifelong romantic relationship with the Danish actor Poul Reichhardt with whom she played opposite in the 1941 film Moster fra Mols. Stender died on June 26 1989 and is buried in Søndermark Kirkegård in Frederiksborg.
