Lise-Lotte Norup knows that. Together with Kirsten Siggaard and Kirsten Vaupel, she forms the popular trio Swing Sisters, which, inspired by the legendary Andrews Sisters, has entertained with swing music for years.
In fact, the trio is celebrating its 29th anniversary this year, and it is still possible to book the three singers to entertain if the corona otherwise allows.
The Swing Sisters singers have reached the experienced age. Lise-Lotte Norup turns 70 on 12 April.
29 years is a long time, but the birther is now doing nothing but singing swing.
She actually has more strings to play on than most.
As a very young woman she was a photo model and also very little dressed in several films in the 1970s.
In an interview with DR in 2020, she said that in connection with her role in the film “Rapportpigen”, nude photos were taken of her.
She got written into her contract that they should not be used elsewhere.
But they persecuted her for 20 years, even though there was no internet back then.
So she hopes young people can learn from her mistakes.
The case with the pictures made her drop the film industry for a while. She trained as a medical secretary instead.
But the play dragged on, so she returned.
She played theater and she is an experienced actress at the summer revues.
The Nativity has also starred in a number of films, including the crime films “Murder in the Dark” and “Murder in Paradise”.
In 2000, Norup had a fine role as the diplomat Søren Pilmark’s cool mistress in the Klaus Rifbjerg film adaptation “Anna”.
On TV, Lise-Lotte Norup has appeared in series such as “A city in the province”, “Strandvaskeren” and “Ugeavisen”. And also in quiz shows.
She has also written several cookbooks, but in 2009 it was a different serious thing she wrote about.
Then came “Heavenly Mother – the right to a dignified death”, which she wrote together with the TV journalist Hans-Georg Møller.
It is about active euthanasia – a topic she had opened up to a few years before with a reader post in Berlingske.
Here she told of her 91-year-old mother’s painful suffocation death as the end of a long illness.
Lise-Lotte Norup has said that she regrets that she did not put the soft pillow she was holding in her hand over her mother’s face to save her from the suffering of the last days.
