Life and work

Thurid Hetland was an actress at the National Theater in Bergen from 1907 to 1909, where she first performed as a theater student. In 1910 she made appearances as a singer of romantic songs. In 1911, Hetland went on tour, including with the actor Birger Bruhn. Starting in September of the same year, she participated in the National Tour's fifth season under Ludovica Levy's management. Around 1914 she was associated with Chat Noir in Kristiania (now Oslo). In 1914, she took part in the Central Theater's Central Tour, led by Pehr Qværnstrøm, in which, among other things, she performed shows from Chat Noir and took part in several plays.

Thurid Hetland was also a film actress for a short period. In 1917, she appeared in the role of the miser Per Grunk's sister in the silent film En vinternat, which is considered lost. In the same year, she also appeared in the film De Forældreløse.

After ending her acting career, Hetland became a preacher associated with The Salvation Army's Home League (Norwegian: Hjemforbundet). For a period she was the organization's secretary.
