Unni Elisabeth Bernhoft (born 4 March 1933) is a Norwegian actress and tobacco retailer.
She was born in Oslo to singer and revue writer Bias Bernhoft and Margit Haug, and is a granddaughter of Tobias Bernhoft. She is married to actor Bjørn Sand, and is the mother of television producer and executive Jon Ola Sand.[1][2]
Bernhoft made her stage debut at Chat Noir in 1953, in the revue Katten er løs.[2] Her film appearances include Bedre enn sitt rykte (1955), Smuglere i smoking (1957), Fjols til fjells (1957), Støv på hjernen (1959), and Millionær for en aften (1960).[3] In the comedy Fjols til fjells she played the character "Ruth Granberg," opposite Leif Juster as "Poppe." Until 2002 Fjols til fjells was the fourth-most-viewed Norwegian film of all time.[4] Her best known song recording is probably Lille Frøken Stang from 1955.[2] She gave voice to the character "Vips" (Red Fraggle) in the Norwegian dub of Fraggle Rock.[5]
