Alma Fahlstrom

Alma Isabella Fahlstrøm (23 November 1863 – 29 May 1946) was a well known Norwegian stage actress, director and theatre manager.

Alma Isabella Bosse was born in Skanderborg, Denmark. She was the sister of sociologist Ewald Bosse and of the actress Harriet Bosse who was married to August Strindberg. In 1889, she married fellow actor Johan Fahlstrøm. In 1897, she and her husband established the Centralteatret in Oslo. The theatre was especially known for a repertoire of light comedy, revues and operettas, as well as Norwegian drama.

In 1912, the couple's only child, Arne Fahlstrøm, died in the Titanic disaster. To help avoiding further shipping disasters, they donated nearly all their fortune to the Norwegian Sea Rescue Society, which used it to purchase rescue boats that were named in their son's honor.
