Inga Linnéa Landgré (born Lundgren, 6 August 1927) is a Swedish actress who has worked in theatre, television and films since the 1940s.
Inga Landgré was born in Stockholm on 6 August 1927. Her father was a struggling musician whose alcoholism strained her parents' marriage. Her mother was a waitress.[1] They divorced in the early 1930s, when she was only five years old. She was an only child.[2] She received her theatrical education in Calle Flygare Teaterskola and made her acting debut in 1944 at the Blanche Theatre as Anja in "Körbärsträdgården".[3]
She started appearing in motion pictures around this time as well, starting with the 1943 film Ordet. In 1946, she starred in Crisis, Ingmar Bergman's directorial debut.[4]
Landgré was married to the Swedish actor Nils Poppe between 1949-1959. The couple had two children together, of whom one also became an actress.[5] In the 1960s, she acted as a courier for her friend Andreas Papandreou, who later became the prime minister of Greece, by delivering microfilm to Greece.[3]
She won the Guldbagge Honorary Award in 2011, but received it in January 2012.[6]
