Thea Stabell (b. 4 July 1939), née Dorothea Jessie Pierstorff, is a Norwegian actress. Stabell's mother was American, and her father worked for the Foreign Service. As a result she had a nomadic lifestyle growing up, living in both the United States, France and Belgium.cite news|url=http://www.klassekampen.no/32790/mod_article/item|title=Sjenert tro|last=Brandvold|first=Åse|date=2005-12-28|publisher=Klassekampen|language=Norwegian|accessdate=2008-09-13] She graduated from "Teaterhøyskolen" (the Theater Academy) in 1964, and had her début the same year in the play "Boyfriend" at Oslo Nye Teater.cite news|url=http://www.xpublish.no/am/xp/pub/div/temaer/portrett/184509|title=Fra byggeklosser til professorat |last=Arefjord|first=Ellen Marie|date=2006-06|publisher=Tidsskriftet Arbeidsmiljø|language=Norwegian|accessdate=2008-09-13] She has since acted both at Torshovteatret, Hålogaland Teater and Nationaltheatret (the National Theatre), while all the while working as an instructor at "Teaterhøyskolen".
