Lampaansyöjät - “No, mitä mieltä oot pimpusta?” (1972)
R.I.P. Finnish comedy actor Leo Lastumäki (28 December 1927 - 29 January 2012).
![Mauri Lintera, Finnish publisher and editor-in-chief, has passed away on 17 May 2011. Born on 17 January 1923, Lintera began his career at the age of 16 as a sports writer for Suomen Urheilulehti (“Finnish Sports Magazine”). He was one of the founders of ladies’ magazine Me Naiset, and in 1958 he started the men’s magazine Jallu, where he initially wrote the stories, did the lay-out and photographed all by himself.
Jallu’s success started in earnest in 1961, when the issue with the first chapter of controversial socialite Tabe Slioor’s autobiography was confiscated by police. According to Wikipedia: “The memoirs, completed with numerous photographs, letters, and other documents, were featured in 10 issues under the title of Miehet ja minä (Men And I), and Slioor was on the cover of each of those issues. As Slioor was very open about her relationship with [Erik] von Frenckell, a nobleman and married mayor of Helsinki, there was an enormous interest in the subject, and Jallu broke records as around 280 000 copies of one issue were sold (Finland’s population was 4.5 million at the time).”
Other Finnish magazines launched by Mauri Lintera were the men’s magazine Nyrkkiposti in 1960, the ladies’ magazine Jaana in 1962, Finland’s foremost teenage rock and pop magazine Suosikki in 1963, and another men’s magazine Jermu in 1968. Of these, Suosikki is still in existence.
Mauri Lintera’s biography Skandaalin käryä — yksinoikeudella Mauri Lintera, written by Nina af Enehjelm, was published in 2008.
