Kari Storækre
Kari Storækre (born 22 June 1950) is a Norwegian television personality.
Biography
She grew up in Stavanger[1] as a daughter of Jon and Ulla Storækre. She was married to Arne Treholt from 1977 to 1985, until he was thoroughly scandalized in an espionage case.[2] In 1987 she married her colleague, the Swede Åke Wilhelmsson.[1]
In her early career, she worked as a journalist in Arbeiderbladet and Verdens Gang.[3] From 1978 into the early 1980s she hosted the talk show Unnskyld at jeg spør together with different hosts, with Frantz Saksvik being a mainstay.[4][5][6] In 1983, she hosted an informational series on computer technology named Datahverdag.[7] When Arne Treholt was arrested in 1984, there were talks about removing Storækre from the air, but she was allowed to continue.[8] In the same year, she was awarded the Se og Hør readers' TV personality of the year award.[9]
As discovered by the Lund Commission, Storækre was subject to secret police surveillance. The prolonged Treholt case took its toll and she migrated to Sweden where she worked with television,[1] among others the breakfast show God morgen, Skandinavia.[3] She later moved back to Norway.[1] She has written the books God tur til Paris (1985) and I søkelyset (1993); both have been translated to Swedish.[10]
