Biography:Though of the same era as her Swedish compatriots "Greta Garbo" and "Ingrid Bergman", talented and beautiful leading lady of stage and screen "Viveca Lindfors" never achieved their superstar status due in large part to working in movies that inadequately displayed the full extent of her ability and charismatic personality. Still, she earned accolades and awards from critics and film societies around the world, including two awards from the prestigious Berlin Film Festival.

Born Elsa Viveca Torstensdotter Lindfors in Uppsala, Sweden, she learned to act at the Royal Dramatic Theater in Stockholm. She made her Swedish film debut in "Snurriga Familjen" (1940). For the next six years, she would appear in more films and establish a stage career. Moving to Hollywood in 1946, she contracted herself to Warner Bros. studios and two years later starred opposite "Errol Flynn" in "The Adventures of Don Juan"... Full Biography
