Biography Born in Frederikshavn, Gress was brought up in Ordrup where her father lost the family fortune at the races. She went through a difficult childhood as the family was forced to move frequently from one home to another. After matriculating from Ordrup Gymnasium in 1937, she studied literature at Copenhagen University.
