    		She was born Sigrid Gurie Haukelid in Brooklyn, New York[2] to Bjørulf Knutson Haukelid (1878â€"1944) and Sigrid Johanne Christophersen (1877â€"1969). Her father was a civil engineer who worked for the New York City Subway from 1902 to 1912. Since Sigrid Gurie and her twin brother Knut Haukelid were born in America, the twins held dual Norwegian-American citizenship. In 1914, the family returned to Norway. Sigrid Gurie subsequently grew up in Oslo and was educated in Norway, Sweden and Belgium. Her brother became a noted member of the Norwegian resistance movement during World War II.
