Ulla Jacobsson - Biography
Ulla Jacobsson was an International Swedish Actress and became world-famous with the film One Summer of Happiness (1951) (English title: "One Summer of Happiness", German title: "Sie tanzte nur einen Sommer") and Smiles of a Summer Night (1955) ("Smiles of a Summer Night"), which Zarah Leander made as a musical in Vienna and also the Swedish version in Stockholm. She became better known in the UK for her part of the daughter of a missionary (played by Jack Hawkins) in Zulu (1964). She married an Austrian doctor and lived in Vienna, where she died of cancer in 1982.
Since the late 1950s she stopped acting in Swedish films, and became more present in the films of filmmakers from the US, France, Spain, Germany, and England. Jacobsson made her first U.S-made debut The Grand Duke and Mr. Pimm. According to "Metropolitan Life" Jacobsson believed she could be successful in acting and marriage. She only took two acting jobs a year in order to travel with her husband. She stated: "When a very good part comes, there is temptation to take it, but I refuse. I love success. I love make myself something. But I love more my husband and children."
Jacobsson became internationally famous for her nude scenes in One Summer of Happiness (1951). This, along with her role in the American film Love Is a Ball (1963) was an attempt to make her a sex symbol. This was common among female actresses in the 1960s. One Summer of Happiness won the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 1951. Bosley Crowther, New York Times writer, stated: "Ulla Jacobsson as the farm girl is a sensitive and expressive young thing who stunningly portrays the caprices and the terrors of an innocent maid in love," in regards to her performance in One Summer of Happiness.
