Hjalmar Bergman

Hjalmar Bergman, born in Örebro on 19 September 1883, the son of a banker, briefly studied philosophy at Uppsala, then chose to live by his pen, and married Stina Lindberg, daughter of the actor and director August Lindberg. His father supported him until his death in 1915; the family business then proved to be heavily in debt, and he had to win over his public. He then enjoyed ten years of full flowering, unsuccessfully tried a career as a screenwriter in Hollywood, and died prematurely in Berlin on 1 January 1931.
