Monica Bedi
Biography
Monica Bedi, a Capricorn born on January 18, 1975, in the village of Chabbewal in the Hoshiarpur district of Punjab, India, is the daughter of Shakuntala and Prem Kumar Bedi, a registered medical practitioner. When Monica was just ten months old in 1976, her family—which also includes her brother Bobby—immigrated to Norway to start a garment business. In 1992, while studying English Literature at Oxford University, she met Bollywood actor-producer Manoj Kumar, which prompted her to relocate to Bombay. There, she met another producer, Mukesh Duggal, at whose hands she reportedly suffered considerable abuse before he was subsequently killed. Monica eventually secured acting roles, beginning in Telugu cinema, through the contacts of Abu Salem. Tragedy struck during a 1995 visit to her hometown when bandits attacked her family, killing her grandparents and severely injuring her mother, leading her family to splinter between Delhi and Norway. Monica later married Abu Salem, converted to Islam, changed her name to Fauzia, and acquired forged passports from Bhopal and Hyderabad to relocate with him from Dubai to Lisbon, Portugal, in 2001. Her family in India remained completely unaware of her plight until she and Salem were arrested by Portuguese police a year later. In November 2003, Monica was sentenced to two years in prison for possessing forged travel documents and was subsequently extradited to India. Despite desperate appeals to the Indian President and Prime Minister, a Special CBI Court convicted her in September 2006, sentencing her to five years of rigorous imprisonment for cheating, criminal planning, and using fake passports, with additional forgery charges from Bhopal still pending. Although no longer a star, Monica continues to attract media attention across India, with many fans and well-wishers hoping she will overcome her challenges and one day return to the silver screen.

He married Eva Rasmussen in 1945, with whom he had three children. One of these is actor Henning Sprogøe. He made his debut in the film Hans Store Aften (His Big Night). His characteristic prominent chin that had been feared an obstacle of his career did not prevent him from being one of the most versatile and used Danish actors.

Among his many roles on stage in classic plays might be mentioned Mephisto in Faust, the title figure of Strindberg’s The Father and some Molière and Bertolt Brecht characters.

He was an able singer especially in shows or revues and his interpretation of Tim Spencer’s Cigarettes, whiskey and wild wild women (in Danish re-creation: Fandens Oldemor – “The Devil’s Great-Grandmother”) almost became his signature tune. He was an actor who combined great public sympathy with the ability to remain a private person with a modest lifestyle. After his death it was revealed that he had been a passionate art enthusiast and had amassed a valuable collection of modern paintings. Shortly after his death in 2004, Nordisk Film (the company that made the Olsen Gang movies) established a scholarship for actors in his name. The state-owned road to Vridsløselille Statsfængsel (the prison where his Egon Olsen character was a frequent "guest"), was renamed by the city of Albertslund to Egon Olsens Vej (Egon Olsen Road). On 24 October 2005, his native city of Odense named a square Ove Sprogøes Plads (Ove Sprogøe Square) in his honour. And the bar 'Cafe Halvvejen', named a shot in his honor.
