The Minutes Go

Vendela Lőfgren (1950-2018), born in Borås, Sweden, was an actress, singer, songwriter, entrepreneur, music agent, dog expert and devoted wife, whose passion was to leave the world a better place. After graduating from Sweden’s National Theatre School in Malmö, she joined the National Touring Company and then landed a life contract at the City Theatre in Uppsala. She then broke off her theatre career and devoted 25 years working voluntarily for Moral Re-Armament, which took her to many parts of the world. In 1980, she married English actor, Philip Tyndale-Biscoe, and together they toured extensively, also with their own productions. In the 1990s she and Philip both studied Russian in Moscow, and she became managing agent for Russian concert pianist, Victor Ryabchikov. For seventeen years she promoted him in Sweden and other countries and produced a dozen or so CDs. On the side, she became something of an authority on dog care and training. In 2010 she and Philip moved to the island of Tjörn, off the west coast of Sweden, and it was there she died on June 9, 2018.
