'''Ellen Horn''' (born '''Ellen Stoesen''', 1 February 1951) is a [[Norway|Norwegian]] [[actress]], [[theatertheatre director]], and [[politician]] for the [[Norwegian Labour Party|Labour Party]].<ref name=nbl>Rossiné {{Cite web |url=http://www.snl.no/.nbl_biografi/Ellen_Horn/utdypning |title=Ellen Horn Biography -– Norsk biografisk leksikon|date=29 June 2022 }}</ref>
 
== Career ==
Horn started as a puppet actor at [[Oslo Nye Teater]] (1969–70), and was educated at the [[Teaterhøyskolen]] (1972–75), and since the late 1980s has been one of the most central and prominent figures in Norwegian theater. As an actress, she has distinguished herself by her versatility; as director at the [[Nationaltheatret]] (1992-20001992–2000), she managed to turn a money-losing company with a highly turbulent business culture into a thriving theater both financially and artistically.<ref name="nbl"/> Horn has been an associate of [[Norsk Rikskringkasting]] and Nationaltheatret, and is currently director of [[Riksteatret]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.regjeringen.no/nb/dep/kud/pressesenter/pressemeldinger/2009/ellen-horn-teatersjef-for-riksteatret-fo.html?id=548348 |title=Ellen Horn teatersjef for Riksteatret for en ny åremålsperiode -– Kulturdepartementet Regjeringen.no|date=6 March 2009 }} (in Norwegian)</ref>
 
Horn further developed and consolidated the [[Henrik Ibsen|Ibsen]] Festival, and led the Nationaltheatret through its 100th anniversary in 1999. On that occasion, she was appointed Commander of the [[Order of St. Olav]]. During [[Stoltenberg's First Cabinet]] she was [[Minister of Culture and Church Affairs (Norway)|Minister of Culture]] (2000-20012000–2001).<ref name="nbl"/>
 
After leaving the cabinet, Horn returned to the [[Nationaltheatret]] as an actor, and in recent years she has toured with the theater productions ''Undset'' and ''Jeg kunne gråte blod'' (about [[Marie Hamsun|Marie]] and [[Knut Hamsun]]). Both as theater director and as minister, she was met by doubts and questions whether she was qualified enough to undertake such large tasks, but she put most of the skepticism to shame with her hard and focused work and her pragmatic attitude, and by growing with the new roles.<ref name="nbl"/>
 
== Private life ==
Horn was married (1988) to the Norwegian Jazz drummer [[Jon Christensen (musician)|Jon Christensen]] (1943-20201943–2020),<ref name="nbl"/> and she has two children: theater director [[Kjersti Horn]] (b. 1977, from her marriage (1973–81) to scenographer Per Kristian Horn, b. 1941), and singer and actress [[Emilie Stoesen Christensen]] (b. 1986) from her current marriage.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ecmrecords.com/Background/ECM/2200/2245.php |title=Say and Play - ECM Jon Balke Batagraf ECMrecords.com |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130922204912/http://www.ecmrecords.com/Background/ECM/2200/2245.php |archivedate=2013-09-22 }} [[ECM Records]]</ref>
