Swedish actress Ingrid Thulin died in January at age 75 after a long illness, returning to Sweden from her residency in Rome. She will be most remembered not only for her work with filmmaker Ingmar Bergman, clearly one of his best female actresses - but ... for embodying complex female archetypes with skill. Thulin played Marianne Borg in Wild Strawberries in 1957 where she accompanies her father in law Professor Isak Borg from Stockholm to Lund in a black touring car. Her aloofness towards this man of honors is memorable: she lights up in the car and does not extinguish her cigarette at his request. Then she tells him what she really thinks of him with cool precision. She has married Isak's son who has inherited many of his characteristics: coldness, detachment, and stinginess.
