Bibi Andersson
Bibi Andersson (born November 11, 1935 as Berit Elisabet Andersson in Stockholm ; † April 14, 2019 ibid) was a Swedish actress . She achieved international fame through her appearances in Ingmar Bergman's films .
Life
Bibi Andersson studied acting from 1954 to 1956 at the Gösta Terserus Theater School and the legendary drama school of the Royal Dramatic Theater in Stockholm.
She worked with Ingmar Bergman for the first time in 1951, when she was involved in a promotional film he directed for the soap "Bris". In 1956 she became a member of Bergman's theater company in Malmö , and she played her first major roles in his films in The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries (both 1957). At the time, Bergman was also her private partner. For the role of a young unmarried pregnant woman in Nahe dem Leben (1958) she received the actor's award at the Cannes Film Festival in 1958 together with Ingrid Thulin , Eva Dahlbeck and Barbro Hiort af Ornäs . In 1959 she went to the Royal Dramatic Theater.
In the 1960s, Andersson was able to leave behind the roles of the always cheerful young woman that were often assigned to her, to her regret. Her intense portrait of the nurse Alma in Persona (1966) is considered one of her best depictions. This was followed by other films with Bergman and with John Huston ( The Letter to the Kremlin , 1970) and Robert Altman ( Quintet , 1979). In 1973 she made her debut as an actress on the American theater stage in Erich Maria Remarque's Full Circle , and in the 1980s as a theater director in Stockholm. In the late 1980s and early 1990s she worked primarily for television and theater. She was also a co-initiator of the humanitarian project "Road to Sarajevo", with which artists in the crisis area of the former Yugoslavia campaigned for artists and people. In 1999, Andersson was the jury president of the World Film Festival .
Bibi Andersson was married to the director Kjell Grede from 1960 to 1973 and to the politician Per Ahlmark from 1979 to 1981 . Since 2004, the doctor Gabriel Mora Baeza was her spouse. In 1996 she published her biography Ett ögonblick ("A moment"). In 2009 she suffered a stroke that caused her to lose her ability to speak. Since then she lived in a nursing home until her death.
She died in Stockholm on April 14, 2019 at the age of 83.
