Pernilla August

Pernilla August (born Mia Pernilla Wallgren) was born on February 13th, 1958 in Stockholm, Sweden.  Pernilla started  acting as a child, performing in plays at Vår theater and at school. In 1979 she was accepted at the Statens scenskola to study acting professionally. Director Ingmar Bergman took note of her early and cast her as a nanny in his Fanny and Alexander (1982).
In 1982 she married  author Klas Östergren and started work at the Folkteatern in Gävle, appearing in August Strindberg's A Dreamplay and Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters. Returning to the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm a few years later for roles in William Shakespeare's Hamlet and Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House.
 Ingmar Bergman specifically asked for her to play his mother in the biographical Den Goda viljan  in 1992.  She married director Bille August in 1991. August offered her a role in his The House of the Spirits, but she was pregnant and the role went to Winona Ryder.
