Interesting life, on fine-looking sources, all Swedish, acceppted AGF, can't tell copyvio. The image is licensed and shows the period well, but should come with some time idea in the caption. The hook is acceptable, but "became" might make more sense if we knew where coming from: first an actress. - A few suggestions for the article: translate "friluft", perhaps translate the play titles which otherwise - with not even Swedish articles attached - could as well be Chinese. The sentence "Her involvement as the manager of the theatre played a crucial role in its milestone." tells me nothing, and the Swedish refs don't help with that, and I never need more than 3 anyway, and I need no ref in the lead as long as the thing is referenced in the body, which would be the normal thing. In "popular comedies, as well as serious plays", - I could imagine "dramas" or "tragedies", because the comedies are serious plays as well, no? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:33, 22 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
