Overview
1961 was the year humanity conquered space with Yuri Gagarin’s orbit of the Earth. Freezers entered Norwegian homes, and female priests entered the Church of Norway. The Berlin Wall was built, while Connie Francis sang «Where the Boys Are». Three Norwegians who shaped the year reflect on the events. Singer Grynet Molvig broke through on film and TV, Jarle Høysæter was a pioneer in TV sports, and Kjetil Bang-Hansen made his acting debut.
