Kari Diesen was born on Jun 24, 1914 in Norway. Kari Diesen's big-screen debut came with The Summer Wind Blows directed by Åke Ohberg in 1955.

Much loved Norwegian revue actress,many supporting roles in film-comedies.Best known for her outspoken monologues,but also for her sincerity and warm-hearted performances. Born into a family of actors as daughter of Signe Heide Steen and Harald Steen, she had her first film-part at the early age of 6, on the stage from 1930. For many years she was engaged at Chat Noir and Edderkoppen,both famous revue theaters in Oslo. Her heart-breaking performance in a revue-sketch about two vagrants in a public park,(together with an outstanding Arvid Nilssen) is probably one of the best performances ever done at a Norwegian revue theater!
