| biography:
| Actress, born in Tokyo, Japan. She studied acting at the Webber-Douglas School in London before beginning her career with a repertory company in Stavanger. Her screen image was largely defined through a long association with the Swedish director Ingmar Bergman, in which she laid bare the inner turmoil of women experiencing various emotional crises. Their films together include Persona (1966), Viskningar och rop (1972, Cries and Whispers), Ansikte mot ansikte (1975, Face to Face), and Höstsonaten (1978, Autumn Sonata), and he wrote the script for her later film Private Confessions (1996). She made her Broadway debut in A Doll's House (1975), and makes regular theatre appearances. She has worked extensively for the charity UNICEF, and written two autobiographical works, Changing (1977) and Choices (1984). In 1999 she directed Faithless. |
