Mai Zetterling

Died in 1994

Mai Zetterling was born in Västerås on 24 May 1925 and studied at the school of the Royal Dramatic Theatre. Revealed at nineteen by a film by Alf Sjöberg, she then pursued a career in Britain, with a few films in Hollywood. Married from 1958 to 1979 to the British writer David Hughes, she first made documentaries for the BBC; her feature films, which caused scandal at Cannes and Venice, subsequently struggled to find funding. She also wrote novels and children's books, and died in London in March 1994.
