Bibi Andersson, Swedish actress
Berit Elisabeth Andersson (11 November 1935 – 14 April 2019),[1] known professionally as Bibi Andersson (Swedish: [²bɪbːɪ ²anːdɛˌʂɔn]), was a Swedish actress who was best known for her frequent collaborations with the filmmaker Ingmar Bergman.
Andersson was born in Kungsholmen, Stockholm, the daughter of Karin (née Mansion), a social worker, and Josef Andersson, a businessman.[3][4][5]
Her first collaboration with Ingmar Bergman came in 1951,[6] when she participated in his production of an advertisement for the detergent Bris.[7] She also worked as an extra on film sets as a teenager, and studied acting at the Terserus Drama School and at the Royal Dramatic Theatre School (1954–1956).[3][4] She then joined the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm, with which she was associated for 30 years.[citation needed]
In the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, Andersson starred in eleven pictures directed by Bergman, including The Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, Brink of Life, The Magician, The Passion of Anna, The Touch, and Persona.[6]
In 1963, Andersson won the Silver Bear for Best Actress at the 13th Berlin International Film Festival for her performance in Vilgot Sjöman's The Mistress.[8]
Her intense portrayal of a nurse in the 1966 film Persona led to an increase in the number of cinematic roles offered to her, and she appeared that same year alongside James Garner and Sidney Poitier in the violent western Duel at Diablo.[1] For her performance in Persona, she won the award for Best Actress at the 4th Guldbagge Awards.[9] More Bergman collaborations followed, and she also worked with John Huston (The Kremlin Letter, 1970)[10] and Robert Altman (Quintet, 1979).[11]
Andersson made her debut in American theatre in 1973 with a production of Erich Maria Remarque's Full Circle.[12] Her most famous American film is I Never Promised You a Rose Garden (1977), which also starred Kathleen Quinlan.[13]
In 1990, Andersson worked as a theatre director in Stockholm, directing several plays at Dramaten.[14] In the late 1980s and early 1990s, she worked primarily in television and as a theatre actress, working with Bergman again, and others. She was also a supervisor for the humanitarian project the Road to Sarajevo.[15]
