Hilda Borgström, one of Sweden's most admired silent-screen actresses, trained for the ballet as a child. Appearing on the stage while still a teenager, she became a leading lady even before her screen debut in 1912. Borgström appeared in the films of Victor Sjöström and other great directors of the silent era. She went on to play supporting roles in countless talkies throughout the 1940s, including an early film directed by Ingmar Bergman.
