Ingrid Thulin Biography
Born: January 27, 1929
Died: January 07, 2004
Trained in ballet, Ingrid Thulin went on to study acting at the Royal Dramatic Theater in Stockholm. After several decorative film roles in the 1940s and early 1950s, she was cast in the American-financed production Foreign_Intrigue opposite Robert_Mitchum. Though nominally a leading lead, the depth of her acting skills remained untapped until she began working under the direction of Ingmar_Bergman, first on the stage, and then in the classic Wild_Strawberries (1957), in which she played the daughter-in-law. Thulin continued essaying cool-but-complex characterizations for Bergman, culminating with Cries and Whispers (1973), in which she was co-starred with Liv_Ullmann and Harriet_Andersson. She was also well served dramatically in Resnais' La_Guerre_Est_Finie (1966) and Visconti's The Damned (1968), cast in extensions of the foredoomed characters that she'd played for Bergman. In 1961, Thulin was cast in MGM's remake of Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, in which her dialogue was dubbed by Angela_Lansbury. Though she could hardly be blamed if she chose to avoid future English-language productions following this demeaning experience, Ingrid went on to appear in Return from the Ashes (1965), Cassandra_Crossing (1977), and the TV miniseries Moses the Lawgiver (1975; as Miriam)--with her own voice intact. Under the aegis of her husband, Swedish Film Institute cofounder Harry Schein, Ingrid Thulin directed the 1966 short subject Hangvelse, as well as the feature-length One and One (1978) and Brusten_Himmel (1982).
