LIV ULLMANN
Born 16.12.1938, Tokyo

Liv Ullmann, whose international breakthrough came in the early 1970s, remains Norway’s only world renowned actor/actress. Starting with her remarkable 1957 theatre debut in the title role of The Diary of Anne Frank, she quickly rose to the top of the  Norwegian theatre and made her mark from 1959 in prominent roles in both Norwegian and Swedish cinema. She attracted attention in the Nordic countries with her first lead role in The Wayward Girl (D: Edith Carlmar, 1959) and her role as Eva in the screen adaptation of Hamsun’s Pan (D: Bjarne Henning-Jensen, 1962). On stage she appeared as Solveig in Peer Gynt, Ophelia in Hamlet, Jeanne d’Arc (Shaw) and Grusche in The Caucasian Chalk Circle. From 1966 she was featured prominently  in many of Ingmar Bergman’s films, such as Persona (1966), Hour of the Wolf (1968), Scenes from a Marriage (1972), Face to Face (1976), Autumn Sonata (1978) and Saraband (2001). From 1970 she also played in other internationally renowned films, including in the US. She received  Oscar nominations for lead actress in The Emigrants (1971) and Face to Face (1976), and during the same period she made waves on Broadway in the title role of Anna Christie and as Nora in A Doll’s House.  Throughout this period she also returned to Scandinavia for appearances in such plays as  A Moon for the Misbegotten in Oslo, Rebekka West in Rosmersholm in Trondheim and Eliza Doolittle in Pygmalion in Stockholm. She also played The Lady from the Sea on Norwegian TV in 1979. In the 1980s she played Mother Courage and Noel Coward’s Private Lives on Norwegian stages in parallell with new assignments in US and European cinema. From 1992 she began directing, first with Sofie (1992) in Denmark, in Norway Kristin Lavransdatter (1995) and in Sweden  Private Confessions (1996) and Faithless (2000), the last two based on scripts by Ingmar Bergman.
Liv Ullmann has written two highly regarded self biographical books, Changing (1976) and Choices (1984) and through many years she has worked for humanitarian aid organizations such as UNICEF and UNESCO. Her most recent success was as the director of an Australian theatrical production of A Streetcar named Desire starring Cate Blanchett. This production had a Broadway run last winter to enthusiastic reviews. In the fall of 2010 she will return to Norway and the theatre as an actor in Long Day’s Journey into Night at Riksteatret.
Like Henrik Ibsen, Liv Ullmann is a person the extent of  whose fame Norwegians almost need to go abroad to realize, although the saying “A Prophet Hath No Honour In His Own Country” predates them both.
