Collaborations with Teuvo Tulio
Collaborations with Teuvo Tulio
After she ended her film career in 1956, she started to work as a translator for the Finnish Broadcasting Company using the name Regina Mörner.
Regina Linnanheimo was one of the stars of the so-called Golden Age of Finnish cinema between 1934 and 1939. As a teenager she was a big fan of Greta Garbo and Colleen Moore. She specialized in romantic and historical costume films and melodramas, such as Kulkurin valssi, Kaivopuiston kaunis Regina and Katariina ja Munkkiniemen kreivi. On the other hand, Linnanheimo showcased her tendencies for darker undertones in several Teuvo Tulio films. The two collaborated frequently, with Linnanheimo often serving both as an actress and a screenwriter. In 1946, she received a Jussi Award for best actress for Tulio films Levoton veri and Rakkauden risti. The 1956 film Olet mennyt minun vereeni was their final collaboration and also marked the end of Linnanheimo's career in films.
