Bibi Andersson died on April 14, Sunday, said Martin Frostberg, spokesman for the Swedish Film Institute said. The state-funded institute said Andersson was the only person to have been named best actress four times in its annual awards.

In 1958, Andersson also shared the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival for her performance in Bergman's Brink of Life. Five years later, she won Best Actress at the Berlin Film Festival for her performance in Vilgot Sjoman's The Mistress. "Her achievements in Swedish cinema cannot be overrated," the Swedish Film Institute's CEO, Anna Lerner, said in a statement. Andersson "will be forever remembered as one of Sweden's truly great actors," she added.
