| biography:
| Film and stage actress, born in Stockholm, Sweden. After studying at the Royal Dramatic Theatre, she made her film debut in Munkbrogreven (1934). Unaffected and vivacious, she became an immensely popular romantic star in such films as Casablanca (1942), Spellbound (1945), and Notorious (1946). In 1950 she gave birth to the illegitimate child of director Roberto Rossellini. The ensuing scandal led to her ostracization from the US film industry. She continued her career in Europe, and was welcomed back by Hollywood on her return in 1956. Nominated seven times for an Academy Award, she won Oscars for Gaslight (1944), Anastasia (1956), and Murder on the Orient Express (1974). |
