Early and personal life Tordis Halvorsen was born on 4 January 1884 in Bergen to actors Nicolai Halvorsen and Inga Houge. Her first marriage was to engineer Christian Mohr (1876–1908). After his death she married Captain Francis Sidney Arbuthnot in 1912.

Career At the age of 10, Halvorsen played the title role in Henrik Ibsen's Little Eyolf at the Christiania Theatre, alongside her father who played the role of Alfred Allmers. At the last performance at the Christiania Theatre on 15 June 1899, she was named as "Olaf" on the poster.

Halvorsen was employed by the theatre until 31 October 1908, when she left to marry Christian Mohr and move to China.

Death Halvorsen died on 19 July 1955.
