She's Jewish. She looks to have a really dark compexion in many photos, but her dad (there's a drawing of him on his wikipedia) looks a lot more typical Swedish from that time. She has such an interesting look, doesn't she?

I was like "how do you know", and then I realised she has a wiki 😅

She was an opera singer (in Sweden) and here she is playing Juliet in "Romio and Juliet".

Aw thanks so much! It's the first time I've heard of her, and we all still love music in the family and I'm a singer too (not professionally though 😅) so it's really nice to see how far back the musical interest goes!
