Biography
Biography
She is known from television in Sweden for her leading roles in the series Varuhuset and Tre Kronor, and more recently as the matriarch in her daughter Pernilla Wahlgren's TV series Wahlgrens värld (Wahlgren World) on Kanal 5 and MAX. She won the award for Best Actress at the 3rd Guldbagge Awards for her role in Ormen. After arguing in 1963 about maternity leave with Dramaten's director and theatre boss Ingmar Bergman, Schollin left the contracted Dramaten players and did not return until 1989. After almost 30 years she came back there again in 2022 as Lady Macbeth, even then with very good reviews.
