STOCKHOLM, Sweden – Swedish actress and writer Eva Dahlbeck, who starred in many of director Ingmar Bergman’s films, died on Friday, her son said. She was 87.
Dahlbeck, who had suffered from Alzheimer’s disease for many years, died of an infection, Tomas Lampell said.
Born in’20, Dahlbeck was one of Sweden’s most popular actresses in the’40s and ’50s and became internationally known for her strong female leads in a number of Bergman’s films, including “Secrets of Women” (1952), “A Lesson of Love” (1954) and “Smiles of a Summer night” (1955).
Bergman died on July 30 last year.
Dahlbeck gave up acting in the’60s for writing and wrote more than a dozen novels. In’70, she made a short-lived comeback in acting when she made her final appearance in the Danish film “Tintomara,” in which she starred alongside another famed Swedish actress, Britt Ekland.
Dahlbeck was awarded the Eugene O’Neill Award in’61 for her acclaimed stage work in several plays. She attended the acting school of the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm during the Second World War and later worked at the national stage for two decades.
