Young Signe Larsson was only 12 when she started to work as a child
extra at The Royal Dramatic Theater and was the youngest ever enrolled
for acting studies there at 16. She quickly got leading roles in movies
and always received very good reviews. In 1940 she went to Hollywood
and signed a contract with RKO. Despite her talent, it didn't lead to
any work and she ventured off to New York and the theater. She signed a
contract with MGM and made a dozen of movies, including George Cukor's
A Double Life (1947), possibly her best. However, she longed to go back to the
theater and has worked in London and New York as well as touring around
the US.
