Anderson Maria

Andersson Bibbi 11.11.1935 -
Švedska filmska igralka je začela igrati v gledališču Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern. Ingmar Bergman jo je odkril, ko je 17 letna nastopala v Malmoju. Najprej je igrala v majhni  toda sijajni vlogi v TV filmu Nasmeh poletne noči (1955). Igrala je v filmih: Sedmi pečat, Divje jagode, Kriki in šepetanje.

Swedish actress Bibi Andersson received her training at the legendary Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern, then graduated to the Royal Theatre of Stockholm. While performing in a stage production in Malmo, the 17-year-old Bibi, she was discovered for films by Ingmar Bergman, who tested her in a TV soap commercial before casting her in a small but showy role in Smiles of a Summer Night (1955). Exhibiting a more capricious image than most Bergman heroines, Ms. Andersson played breezily insouciant characters in the otherwise sober-sided The seventh Seal (1957) and Wild Strawberries (1958). Her first important all-dramatic assignment was the neurotic unwed mother-to-be in Bergman's Brink of Life , for which she was honored with a Cannes Film Festival prize. Arguably her finest work under Bergman's guidance was as garrulous nurse Alma in Persona (1966), who gradually exchanges personalities with her near-comatose patient Liv Ullmann. She was also featured in one episode of Bergman's made-for-television Scenes from a Marriage (1973). On the Swedish stage, Bibi has starred in such imports as Arthur Miller's After the Fall and Edward Albee's Who`s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.

Andersson Harriet 14.1.1932 -
Švedska gledališka in filmska igralka. Kot plesalka je nastopala v švedskih mjuziklih in filmih. Slavo je dosegla v filmu Ingmarja Bergmana Sawdust and Tinsel (1953). Igrala je še v Bergmanovih filmih: Through a Glass Darkly (1961), Cries and Whispers (1973) in Fanny and Alexander (1982).

Trained as a dancer, Harriet Andersson worked her way up from the chorus in Swedish musical revues to supporting parts in films. Impressed by her work in a previous picture, director Ingmar Bergman fashioned a vehicle specifically tailored to Harriet's talents, Summer With Monika (1953). Exuding an earthy, sexually insatiable screen image, Harriet gained international fame with her next Bergman project, Sawdust and Tinsel (1953), in which her slatternly character committed many of her worst indiscretions in the nude. Never confined to any one characterization, Harriet proved to be one of the most versatile members of the Bergman stock company: some of her finest work can be seen in Through a Glass Darkly (1961), and, as the dying Agnes, in Cries and Whispers (1973). She remained with Bergman all the way up to his last theatrical feature, Fanny and Alexander (1982), in which she was cast as Justina.
