Biography

Gunnar Björnstrand was a Swedish actor and the son of an acting father, who got a bit part at the Lilla Teatern in Stockholm while taking acting lessons, after early jobs away from the stage. In 1933 he enrolled at the Royal Dramatic Theater's acting school, and after graduating he acted for two years at the Swedish Theater in Vasa, Finland, before going home to Sweden. Small film parts followed until his breakthrough in Night in the Harbor (1943). He worked with Ingmar Bergman on stage during the Second World War, and after a run of light comedies came the films that won him fame abroad: Sawdust and Tinsel (1953), A Lesson in Love (1954) and Smiles of a Summer Night (1955). The 1960s brought less success, and once his contract with Svensk Filmindustri ended he turned to television theater, Swedish stage work and films in Italy. He died in 1986.
