Swedish Actress Ingrid Thulin Dies at 76
Thu Jan 8
	
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Ingrid Thulin, who with Greta Garbo and Ingrid
Bergman was often cited as one of Sweden's best actresses, has died at
the age of 77.

Thulin died Wednesday at Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm, Swedish news
agency TT reported. She had lived in Rome since the 1960s, but had
returned to Sweden for treatment of an unspecified illness.

Born Jan. 27, 1926, in Sollefteaa in northern Sweden, Thulin trained as
a ballet dancer and attended Stockholm's Royal Dramatic Theatre.

She worked in stage productions with legendary Swedish film director
Ingmar Bergman before moving to films, appearing in minor roles in the
1940s and 1950s.

It was her film work with Bergman that eventually brought her fame,
including a shared Cannes Film Festival best actress award in 1958 with
fellow Swedes Bibi Andersson and Eva Dahlbeck for their roles in "Brink
of Life."

In 1956 she was cast with Robert Mitchum in "Foreign Intrigue," her
first American starring role, according to the All Movie Guide.

Her time in Hollywood was marred by her role in 1962's "The Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse." Before the film came out, her lines were
dubbed over by actress Angela Lansbury.

Thulin also appeared on Broadway and on television productions,
including a 1961 remake of "Intermezzo" on NBC and in "Moses, The
Lawgiver" on CBS in 1975.

After her first marriage to Claes Sylwander ended in divorce, she
remarried in 1958 to Harry Schein, founder of the Swedish Film
Institute.

There was no information on survivors or funeral plans.
