Tabe Slioor

Tabe Slioor

Tabe Slioor (21 November, 1926 – 25 April, 2006) was a famous Finnish socialite. Born in the 1920s, she was most topical in the 1960s, as a close friend and companion of many powerful and important Finnish men. She has been linked to Erik von Frenckell, then-mayor of Helsinki and Urho Kekkonen, arguably the most powerful and significant President of Finland.

Slioors father was Iranian and mother Finnish, although she was raised in a Finnish orphanage, and eventually became the head of a modeling school in Finland. Her beauty, poise and charisma allowed her to rise to importance in the eyes of the fledgling Finnish media; Tabe Slioor has been called one of the first Finnish celebrities alongside such greats as Armi Kuusela and Teija Sopanen, famous winners of Finnish beauty pageants in the 1950s, and sex symbols of that era.

Slioor published a serialized account of her affair with Erik von Frenckell in the Finnish men's magazine "Jallu" in the 1960s. Tabe has also published her memoirs.
