Oh I thought there was a few more?! A Canadian unique pick or something?!

 

Off Wiki's deaths in 2021 we have had more LOTM than hits the past few days. If more obscure names appeared I am unaware of them as yet.

 

Short of a splurge at Christmas, this wont be a record breaking year.

 

I write the sodding obits so I'm hoping there isn't a splurge at Christmas!

Spanish actress Verónica Forqué has died at the age of 66.

This morning, her body was found by the emergency services at her home in Madrid.

Famous for her films with Pedro Almodóvar, Verónica Forqué (maybe the best comedy actress of her generation), was born into a family of artists: her father (José María Forqué, prestigious director and producer), her mother (Carmen Vázquez-Vigo, writer), her brother (Álvaro Forqué, filmmaker) and her grandfather (José Vázquez-Vigo, musician and composer):

Any Ingmar Bergman fans here? I made a list of survivors from his movies. Well, it might be pointless to include the ones from the 70s and 80s. How about 1946-1969?

Smultronstället/Wild Strawberries - 1957: Björn Bjelfvenstam, Gio Petre (b. 1937), Eva Möller (b. 1938), Göran Lundqvist & Lena Bergman

Nära livet/Brink of Life - 1958: Inga Landgre, Lars Lind & Kristina Adolphson (b. 1937)

Ansiktet/The Magician - 1958: Birgitta Pettersson (b. 1939)

Skammen/Shame - 1968: Liv Ullmann

En passion/The Passion of Anna - 1969: Liv Ullmann, Annicka Kronberg (b. 1944) & Malin Ek (b. 1945)

 

Gunlög Hagberg (1931-2021) played one of the flagellants in The Seventh Seal. She died on 29 September 2021 but IMDb still has her as alive. Else-Merete Heiberg was in Port of Call & Thirst, but I couldn't verify that she is still alive as of December 2021. This is because she is Norwegian and not as famous as Ullmann. Maybe Old Lady or Putin knows. If alive, then every single of Bergman's release years has at least one survivor. On a similar note, Maud Elfsiö moved to Denmark. She was in Brink of Life. Another immigrant is Hariette Garellick, who lives/lived in USA so no clue here either. She was in Crisis. Another cast member of Bergman's first film is Carin Cederström. Born in 1925, very little information and I don't want to assume that she's alive just cuz there's no death date online.

Can you tell I'm bored? I'm really bored. At least you have good material for future Silverscreen pools.
