Kathryn Forbes, 57, author of the 1943 bestseller Mama's Bank Account, a warm reminiscence of Norwegian-American family life that turned out to be a motherly rival to Life with Father, as a 714-performance hit play, I Remember Mama, a popular movie, and a television series for seven seasons; of chronic pulmonary emphysema; in San Francisco...
