Below is an up-to-date list of the very oldest to have worked in movies and tv. Maj-Britt Håkansson (29 March 1919) Astrid Söderbaum (30 June 1919) Irene Söderblom (19 November 1921) Maj-Britt Thörn (2 March 1923) Bo Bjelfvenstam (24 April 1924) Erich Conard (12 May 1924) Marianne Bernadotte (15 July 1924) Meta Velander (13 August 1924) Mark Miller (20 November 1924) Bo Wärff (15 March 1925) Amy Aaröe (20 May 1925) Sten Skragge (13 August 1925) Hasse Burman (17 January 1926) Berit Frodi (19 April 1926) Nils Eklund (17 January 1927) Ragnar Ulfung (28 February 1927) Ulla-Britt Hedenberg (5 March 1927) Inga Landgre (6 August 1927) Anna-Greta Bergman (28 August 1927) Ingrid Björk (28 September 1927) Sture Ström (7 December 1927) Pretty cool that there are three centenarians alive right now. One of them, Söderbaum, actually turned 103 yesterday. From what I could find, both of the 1919 ones are in the national top 4 longest-lived actors/actresses to ever appear in a Swedish film. Sylva Åkesson (1916-2021): 104 Stein Grieg Halvorsen (1909-2013): 104 (Norwegian actor, but was in a Swedish film once) Maj-Britt Håkansson (1919-): 103 Astrid Söderbaum (1919-): 103 Elsa Sundgren (1915-2017): 102 Nini Theilade (1915-2018): 102 (Danish dancer, but was in a Swedish film once) Sally Palmblad (1908-2010): 101 (ended a looong centenarian actor drought) Martha Colliander (1888-1989): 101 (first centenarian) Ingrid Luterkort (1910-2011): 101 Guje Lagerwall (1918-2019): 100 Irene Söderblom (1921-): 100 Sven Hasselström (1889-1990): 100 (the only Swedish male centenarian) Susanna Ramel (1920-2020): 100 On a closing note, let's enjoy this pic of Söderblom in her 20s. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MariNisia 4,243 Posted July 12, 2022 Antonio Ibáñez, Spanish actor, model and painter, has died aged 34. A year ago, he received a diagnosis of lymphoma. He was popular in the successful Spanish television series "Aída". https://www.marca.com/tiramillas/series/2022/07/12/62cd952822601daa508b45f7.html Ibáñez himself also communicated his death through his Instagram with an emotional message he had prepared earlier: "I've been fighting with all my strengths, but I couldn't win this battle. I was so eager to live and keep on creating art. Yet, you'll be able to see, feel and touch my purest energies in all my paintings. There you'll get lost in my bright, generous soul".
