Malin Levanon has created an array of strong roles, crossing genres with grace in a number of award winning films and tv-series. Most recent seen as Tilda Rehnström in the tv-series Detective #24 and Liz in the Netflix series Clark, which premiered in 190 countries. In 2015 she amazed critics and audiences alike with her portrayal of the homeless Minna in Drifters (Tjuvheder). The portrayal earned her a Guldbagge (The Swedish Academy Awards) in 2016, and the same year she won the prestigious Lena Nyman acting prize. Malin more or less grew up on stage in the tradition of Stanislavskij. As a teenager Levanon got interested in the physical theatre technique of Grotowskij. Later on she started to learn and work with the film acting method of Mike Leigh which includes a lot of improvisation and character work. When in LA Malin Levanon is a member of Ivana Chubbuck's (acting coach for Brad Pitt and Charlize Theron) own masterclass at her Studio in West Hollywood. Levanon's broad emotional register, humor and strong presence, both on screen and stage, has put her at the forefront of Swedish acting. The warmth, details and attention she brings to each role is a great asset to any production. Known for her courage and unpredictable playfulness, we are excited to see the characters, emotions and worlds she will bring us next.- Anita Björk is able to use simple means to give depth and character to a role. She has a way of expressing any emotion just by raising an eyebrow or twitching her lips. This was something she used to a large extent in her best movie, Alf Sjöberg's Miss Julie (1951) where she played the young lady at a country manor, planning to elope with Jean the butler.
She was bitten by the acting bug in her teens and went to Stockholm. She started her acting studies at the Royal Dramatic Theater in 1942 and quickly got major roles. Her breakthrough came 1948 in Jean Genet's 'The Maids', followed by such roles as Agnes in 'Henrik Ibsen's 'Brand', Julie in William Shakespeare's 'Romeo & Juliet', Eliza in George Bernard Shaw's 'Pygmalion' and Tintomara in 'Carl Jonas Love Almqvist''s 'Drottningens juvelsmycke'.
She met and fell in love with the writer Stig Dagerman and in 1951 she gave birth to a daughter. The three of them went to Hollywood for Anita to negotiate a role in Alfred Hitchcock's I Confess (1953). But when word came out that Anita wasn't married to Stig, Hollywood lost interest. His divorce from his ex-wife wasn't final until 1953 and apparently it wasn't acceptable to Hollywood for a contract player to live with someone married to somebody else.
In West Germany she played against Gregory Peck in Night People (1954) but when the movie failed at the box office, so did her career abroad. Also, her husband killed himself and Anita decided to stick to the Royal Dramatic Theater where she has appeared in more than 80 roles through the years. In movies, she has appeared mainly in supporting roles.
Of her movies, the most interesting are Miss Julie (1951), På dessa skuldror (1948) and Mannekäng i rött (1958). - Actor
