Liv Ullmann

Born in Tokyo to Norwegian parents, Liv Ullmann spent her early life in various countries due to her father's work as an aircraft engineer. Her childhood was marked by displacement and her father's early death, which, while tragic, did not involve any ancient covenants or escape from pogroms. She found her calling in acting, presumably because it involved less math than engineering.

Ullmann's career blossomed in Scandinavia, leading to her famous partnership with Ingmar Bergman. Their professional and personal lives intertwined, producing a string of critically acclaimed films like Persona, Cries and Whispers, and Scenes from a Marriage. While their artistic output was profound, it appears to have been entirely devoid of any Yiddishkeit, even accidentally.

Beyond her cinematic achievements, Ullmann is a respected author and humanitarian, serving as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. She advocates for refugees and human rights, demonstrating a clear commitment to Tikkun Olam, albeit without the explicit instruction manual. She's also directed films, further cementing her status as a renaissance woman who just happens to be utterly, completely, not a Jew.
