Harriet Andersson / Biography
Discovered at age 20 by celebrated director Ingmar Bergman, she became part of Bergman's regular stable of performers; in fact, he wrote Summer with Monika (1952) especially for her debut. Extraordinary and versatile as an actress, her roles ranged from from the naíve young wife in Sawdust and tinsel (1953) to the mad visionary in Through a glass darkly (1962). Andersson also appeared in Fanny and Alexander (1983), Bergman's last film.
