Liv Ullmann is a Norwegian actress, writer, and director whose luminous screen presence and emotional depth made her one of the most celebrated figures in world cinema. Born in Tokyo in 1938 and raised in Norway, she began her acting career on stage before rising to international prominence through her long and remarkable collaboration with Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman.
Ullmann’s performances in films such as Persona (1966), Cries and Whispers (1972), Scenes from a Marriage (1973), and Autumn Sonata (1978) revealed a rare intensity — a fearless exploration of love, isolation, and the human soul. Her expressive face and quiet vulnerability became hallmarks of Bergman’s cinematic world, earning her acclaim as one of the finest actresses of her generation.
Beyond acting, Ullmann became an accomplished director and humanitarian. Her directorial works, including Sofie (1992) and Faithless (2000), reflect the same sensitivity and moral insight that define her performances. She also served as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, using her voice for compassion and advocacy on global issues.
