Ingrid Thulin (pronounced in Swedish) (27 January 1926 – 7 January 2004) was a Swedish actress.
She was born as a fisherman's daughter in Sollefteå, Ångermanland in northern Sweden. She took ballet lessons as a girl and was accepted by The Royal Dramatic Theatre ("Dramaten") in Stockholm 1948. For many years she worked regularly with the Swedish director Ingmar Bergman; among other films, Ingrid Thulin appears in The Magician (1958 film) (where she acted dressed as a boy), in Winter Light (1962) (where she personifies neurotic devotion), as well as The Silence (1963) and Cries and Whispers (1972).
She shared the best actress award at the 1958 Cannes Film Festival and received a Guldbagge Award as best actress in 1964, the first year the award was given out, for her performance in The Silence.
She was married to Harry Schein, the founder of the Swedish Film Institute, for more than 30 years until 1989, although they had lived separately for many years before the divorce. Her memories were published in 1992 ("Någon jag kände" ("Somebody I knew"); ISBN 91-1-919472-2).
In her later years she lived in Rome, Italy. She returned to Sweden for medical treatment and later died from cancer in Stockholm, Sweden, 20 days short of her 78th birthday.
