Happy 90th Birthday Max von Sydow !!!
Born on April 10, 1929 in Lund, Sweden
Thanks for everything, so far...
Swedish-born international character actor of many European and American films in several languages, including Swedish, English, Norwegian, Danish, German, French, Italian, and Spanish.
He was born out of a wealthy family (his mother was a Baroness) and his interest in acting came via amatear theatre. He studied at the Royal Dramatic Theatre (Dramaten) in Stockholm, where he trained between 1948 and 1951. During his time at Dramaten, he made his screen debuts in Alf Sjöberg's films Only a Mother (Bara en mor) 1949 and Miss Julie (Fröken Julie) 1951, a screen version of Strindberg's drama.
In 1955, von Sydow moved to Malmö, where he met his mentor, Ingmar Bergman. His first work with Bergman occurred on stage at the Malmö Municipal Theatre, and he would go on to work with Bergman on films such as The Seventh Seal (Det sjunde inseglet) 1957, Wild Strawberries (Smultronstället) 1957 and The Virgin Spring (Jungfrukällan) 1960.
von Sydow went to America after agreeing to star in the film which led to much greater recognition, in the role of Jesus in George Stevens's all-star epic The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965). From then on he has been in demand internationally.
