Harriet Andersson(I)

Discovered at age 20 by celebrated director Ingmar Bergman, she became part of Bergman's regular stable of performers; in fact, he wrote Monika et le désir (1953) especially for her breakthrough. Extraordinary and versatile as an actress, her roles have ranged from the naive young wife in La nuit des forains (1953) to the mad visionary in À travers le miroir (1961). Andersson also appeared in Fanny et Alexandre (1982), Bergman's last film. After that she has appeared in a number of feature films and TV series in Sweden. Her autobiography was published in 2005.
