Predictor 1,007 Posted December 21, 2021 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? Kris/Crisis - 1946: Inga Landgre (b. 1927) Det regnar på vår kärlek/It Rains on Our Love - 1946: N/A Skepp till Indialand/A Ship Bound for India - 1947: Amy Aaröe (b. 1925) Musik i mörker/Music in Darkness - 1948: N/A Hamnstad/Port of Call - 1948: See end of post Fängelse/Prison - 1949: Anita Blom (b. 1929) Törst/Thirst - 1949: Monica Eek (b. 1941) Till glädje/To Joy - 1950: Margit Carlqvist (b. 1932) & Björn Montin (b. 1941) Sånt händer inte här/This Can't Happen Here - 1950: Gunwer Bergkvist (b. 1932) Sommarlek/Summer Interlude - 1951: Gerd Andersson (b. 1932) Kvinnors väntan/Secrets of Women - 1952: Björn Bjelfvenstam (b. 1929) & Gerd Andersson Sommaren med Monika/Summer with Monika - 1953: Harriet Andersson (b. 1932) & Carl-Uno Larsson (b. 1944) Gycklarnas afton/Sawdust and Tinsel - 1953: Harriet Andersson & Göran Lundqvist (b. 1941) En lektion i kärlek/A Lesson in Love - 1954: Harriet Andersson, Yvonne Lombard (b. 1929) & Göran Lundqvist Kvinnodröm/Dreams - 1955: Inga Landgre, Björn Bjelfvenstam & Harriet Andersson Sommarnattens leende/Smiles of a Summer Night - 1955: Björn Bjelfvenstam, Margit Carlqvist, Harriet Andersson & Lena Söderblom (b. 1935) Det sjunde inseglet/The Seventh Seal - 1957: Inga Landgre, Lars Lind (b. 1935) & Lena Bergman (b. 1943, daughter) 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) Jungfrukällan/The Virgin Spring - 1960: Birgitta Pettersson Djävulens öga/The Devil's Eye - 1960: Kristina Adolphson Såsom i en spegel/Through a Glass Darkly - 1961: Harriet Andersson Nattvardsgästerna/Winter Light - 1963: Eddie Axberg (b. 1947) Tystnaden/The Silence - 1963: Jörgen Lindström (b. 1951) För att inte tala om alla dessa kvinnor/All These Women - 1964: Harriet Andersson Persona - 1966: Liv Ullmann (b. 1938) & Jörgen Lindström Vargtimmen/Hour of the Wolf - 1968: Liv Ullmann & Mikael Rundquist (b. 1955) 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. Spoiler Can you tell I'm bored? I'm really bored. At least you have good material for future Silverscreen pools. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
