Ingeborg Brams

A delicate flower, Ms. Brams, soon gained fame and success on stage after training at the Royal Theatre (1939-1941) in Copenhagen. Alas, she only appeared in 11 films, but they all show sides of her great talent. She was fascinated by the stage, but as time went on, she became increasingly difficult for directors. Suffering from a tremendous nervous disposition, managers were afraid to sign her and she caused a scandal in 1959, when she had to back out of the enormous production of "My Fair Lady" only a few days before the opening (she was cast as Eliza). At the end of her career she was frequently committed to medical treatment but managed to appear on radio and rare appearances on stage where she would delight audiences with her truly poetic voice - always speaking with that timbre that was a trademark of hers.
