• Lise Nrgaard a screenwriter has passed away. Her age was 105.
• Nrgaard passed away on Sunday following a brief illness.
• Tribute to Nrgaard, who was scarcely known outside of Scandinavia and Germany.

Lise Nrgaard, a screenwriter who created the well-known epic television drama “Matador,” which chronicled the lives of typical Danish families in a fictitious rural village through the Great Depression and World War II, has passed away. Her age was 105.

Nrgaard passed away on Sunday following a brief illness, her family announced on Monday. Her 1992 memoir “Kun en pige,” which details her battle to become a female reporter, is another notable accomplishment.

She had jobs at prestigious danes like Politiken and Berlingske. Her career began with the neighbourhood paper Roskilde Dagblad in Roskilde, which is approximately 40 kilometres (25 miles) west of Copenhagen.

“We say goodbye to a national treasure,” Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Instagram. “A strong and people-loving woman who was never afraid to take the lead. She gave us Matador. A piece of Danish history.”

A tribute to Nrgaard, who was scarcely known outside of Scandinavia and Germany, was tweeted on Monday by Danish MPs.

Culture “has lost a piece of life,” according to Culture Minister Jakob Engel-Schmidt. Denmark was a significant contributor to its era as well as a witness.

Her television programme “Matador,” which German Ambassador Pascal Hector hailed as a “masterpiece,” was “my first interaction with the Danish language and the country’s history,” he wrote in a tweet.

The fictional Danish town of Korsbaek served as the location for the 24-episode “Matador,” which was initially shown in 1978 and rebroadcast over the years. The four-season programme, which ended in 1982, helped a number of Danish actors break through, and a portion of the fictional town was reconstructed in a Danish amusement park.

In 2018, Nrgaard ended his career as a lecturer and author. Funeral plans weren’t released right away.
