Liv Ullman

Norwegian actress and film director Liv Ullman had a difficult childhood. With her father constantly being needed as an aircraft engineer, her family frequently called the moving company to transfer homes. When he passed away because of a brain tumor, her family had to find a way to support themselves. So in the mid-1950s, Ullman began to act on stage. However, she received the most recognition for being the muse of legendary Swedish movie director, Ingmar Bergman. The actress worked with him for 10 of his films.

Some of these include The Passion of Anna, Cries and Whispers, Autumn Sonata, and Persona. In 1971, she won a Golden Globe for her role in The Emigrants. Aside from these, she is also noted for her portrayal of Nora in the three-act play A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen. She remains one of the most memorable actresses of her time and even today, many actresses still look up to Ullman.
