Ms. Lindfors was a Swedish-born actress whose stage and screen career in the U.S. and Sweden spanned more than half a century. She was brought to Hollywood in 1946 by Warner Brothers in the hope that she would be a new Greta Garbo or Ingrid Bergman. She appeared with Ronald Reagan in her first Hollywood film, Don Siegel's Night Unto Night (1949). Perhaps best known as a stage actress, she returned to Sweden in August 1995 to tour with the play "In Search of Strindberg".

  • Quotes
    What difference does it make if you change your line? Improvisation is good. The other actor should listen to what you do. It may be a matter of changing pauses within or after the line. I call it brave acting and you have to protect your own inspiration.
