Lena Granhagen (Wiki) - born 1938

Errm, those born in the late 1930s are hardly the oldest living actors in Sweden. 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. :)

@Predictor Some of them are very obscure and they haven't appeared in decades, are you sure they are still alive today?

Found some residence record that could possibly mean alive for most of them. I couldn't for Ingrid Björk though.

 

Erich Conard's real name could be John Erik Conrad Fahlström

I'm 99% sure. There are a few people I couldn't confirm so I left them out. On the other hand, I forgot to add three names to the list: Mark Miller, Bo Bjelfvenstam & Ragnar Ulfung.

Mark Miller

Mark Miller who? There is no Swedish actor named Mark Miller. The one and only Mark Miller (Wiki) is American actor from Golden Age of Hollywood.

Believe it or not, he was in a Swedish movie once. So he gets on the list on a technicality. ^_^ FYI, the broad media consesus at the time was that Blonde in Bondage was one of the worst movies of 1957. Guess which Hollywood actor never returned to make another movie in this part of the world again? :unsure:

Of all the people to say this, YOU???? Remind me again, how many entries do you have on your Excel longlist? 10 000 or 20 000 names? Have a nice day, you obscure folks-picking deadpooling melt! And get some fresh air once in a while. I mean, Vlastimir Mijovic? Are you fucking kidding me? :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

For the record, if correcting an inaccurate list is pointless, that's your problem.

IMO, you’re both cunts / pointless contributors, so let’s just leave it at that.

In all seriousness, I didn't know you saw me as that. I've tried my best to make mostly decent contributions to the forum for almost a decade, but hey it's your opinion I guess. Just wanted to give Gisoo an accurate and updated list. :blink:

(From the Immortals thread)

 

Margarita Terekhova had a bout of covid recently. Family says it was "scary" but she survived it despite being in late stages of Alzheimer's bedridden and unable to talk.

Soviet/Russian actress, perennial dementia sufferer Margarita Terekhova in "serious condition" with relatives no longer expecting any kind of improvement. Not sure if this is urgent though, Russian media tends to exaggerate the conditions ill famous people are in.

This is actually no update. Of course you won't recover from Alzheimer's unless you are Ernest Saunders.

From the (google translated) article I assumed they were either hoping for a lucid moment or she's physically more ill now.

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".

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".
