Maj-Britt Nilsson
Maj-Britt Nilsson, best known for her roles in three Ingmar Bergman films of the early 1950s, died last Dec. 19 in Cannes. She was 82. No cause of death was announced.
Nilsson’s three Bergman films are Till glädje / To Joy (1950), in which she has the role of an orchestra player whose husband (Stig Olin) strays; Sommarlek / Summer Interlude (right), as a ballerina reminiscing about a passionate but ultimately tragic summer; and Kvinnors väntan/ Secrets of Women / Waiting Women (1952, above), as one of four sisters-in-law (Anita Björk, Eva Dahlbeck, and Aino Taube are the others) discussing their marriages while waiting for their respective husbands to arrive at a summer cottage.
