Live and act
Harriet Andersson attended the Calle Flygare Theater School at a young age and performed at the Oscar theater. After her first small cinema and advertising film appearances, she received her first major role in Vilgot Sjömans Trots in 1952 . Because she had a strong impact on the screen, Ingmar Bergman offered her the lead role in Die Zeit mit Monika (1953), which marked her breakthrough as an actress. In the same year she joined Bergman's theater company at the Malmö City Theater and had a private relationship with the director for a while. Her best-known role during this period was in Bergman's The Smile of a Summer Night (1955). In 1956 she returned to the theater in Stockholm and played the role of Anne Frank . In later years she appeared in Bergman's How in a Mirror (1961), Screams and Whispers (1972) and Fanny and Alexander (1982), and Mai Zetterling's Loving Couples (1964) and The Girls (1968). From 1968 to 1992 she was a member of the Royal Dramatic Theater ensemble . In 2003 she directed Dogville under the direction of Lars von Trier .
Ingmar Bergman named Harriet Andersson in his 1992 interview book Tre dagar med Bergman (Three Days with Bergman) as one of the best actresses in the world. "I think the camera loves the particles that surround Harriet, and it likes them too," he explained. In 2005 she published her autobiography , Harriet Andersson , written in the form of interviews with the Swedish film critic Jan Lumholdt .
