Ingrid Thulin

Ingrid Thulin (January 27, 1926 – January 07, 2004) was a Swedish actress. She was born as a fisherman's daughter in Sollefteå, Ångermanland in northern Sweden. She took ballet lessons as a girl and was accepted by the Stockholm Royal Dramatic Theatre's School in 1948.

. She died of a heart attack in Los Angeles, California, after suffering the effects of heart disease for several years. She returned to Sweden for medical treatment and later died from cancer in Stockholm, Sweden, short of her 78th birthday. She married after her retirement and distanced herself from her Hollywood career, and for the rest of her life politely refused any requests for interviews. In her later years she lived in Rome, Italy. By her retirment at the age of 17 she had appeared in more than forty films, and had acted with some of the biggest stars of her era, including Clark Gable and Myrna Loy in Too Hot to Handle (1938), Bette Davis in All This and Heaven Too (1940), and Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland in Babes on Broadway (1941), but she was not able to make continue her success as an actor into adulthood. For years she worked with Swedish director Ingmar Bergman, where she developed her personal style, acting with neurotic intensity like in The Silence (1963) or Cries and Whispers (1972), making her the third actress of world fame coming from Sweden (after Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman). After a string of box-office disappointments, her film career ended with her final performance in 1943.

She took ballet lessons as a girl and was accepted by the Stockholm Royal Dramatic Theatre's School in 1948. She continued acting but by this time was maturing, and as a teenager was less popular with audiences. She was born as a fisherman's daughter in Sollefteå, Ångermanland in northern Sweden. Her next major success, and the film for which she is perhaps best remembered was The Philadelphia Story (1941) in which she played the wise-cracking younger sister of Katharine Hepburn. Ingrid Thulin (January 27, 1926 – January 07, 2004) was a Swedish actress. She was one of the all-female cast of The Women (1939), as Norma Shearer's daughter, a role that was uncharacteristically sentimental for her. ISBN 0-498-02013-4. The film was a success and over the next few years Weidler was regularly employed by the studio, usually playing precocious tom-boys.
