Career
Career
As an actress, Lindblom was particularly associated with the work of Ingmar Bergman, though in 1965 she performed the lead role in Miss Julie for BBC Television. She also played the key role of The Mummy in Bergman's staging of Strindberg's The Ghost Sonata in 1998–2000, a performance that earned her much critical acclaim. She appeared on stage as Tintomara's mother in Carl Almqvist's play Drottningens juvelsmycke (English: The Queen's Tiara), staged at the Royal Dramatic Theatre for the theatre's 100-year jubilee in 2008. In 2009, she directed the Jon Fosse play Flicka i gul regnjacka (Girl in Yellow Raincoat) at the Royal Dramatic Theatre, starring Stina Ekblad and Irene Lindh, which premiered on 9 October. Lindblom married physician Sture Helander, whom she first met following her admission to hospital suffering from appendicitis during the shooting of The Virgin Spring. The couple had three children together, but divorced in 1970. Lindblom then married Frederik Dessau, a Danish director. Her second marriage was dissolved five years later. Lindblom died on 24 January 2021 after a bout of illness.
