Biography

Victor Sjöström was a Swedish film director and actor, born in 1879, died in 1960. He began in the theater after a brief attempt at selling donuts, then became an actor and director. The Swedish company Svenska Bio hired him and Mauritz Stiller, and from 1912 to 1915 he directed 31 films, only three of which survive. His Ingeborg Holm (1913) is considered the first classic of Swedish cinema. His 1920 film The Phantom Carriage (1921) brought international acclaim, leading Goldwyn Pictures to bring him to Hollywood, where his name became Victor Seastrom. He directed He Who Gets Slapped (1924), a Lon Chaney melodrama, for MGM, a critical and commercial success, and later made The Scarlet Letter (1926) and The Wind (1928) with Lillian Gish. He returned to Sweden and acted in films from the 1930s to the 1950s, mentoring Ingmar Bergman and winning the National Board of Review's Best Actor Award for Wild Strawberries (1957).
