Today, actress Margit Carlqvist turns 93. Born February 11, 1932.
Judging by the number of pictures Kristoffersson took of her, there was a great deal of interest in her person during the 1950s.
She made her first film role in Ingmar Bergman's film Till glädje in 1950.
Kristoffersson's pictures found their way to the foreign press. It is not surprising that the major foreign magazines were happy to choose a young, beautiful Swedish girl for their cover. There is no need to speculate whether The films that gained worldwide fame in the 1950s for their nude scenes, however small, had something to do with it. That's how it was then.
KG is one of the few Swedish photographers to have had a picture on the cover of the iconic American magazine Life. For the picture of Heide Göransson, he bought a very advanced flash unit that was very expensive.
The picture he took of some of his cover photos shows actress and dancer Amy Aaröe on the cover of the German magazine Sie und er and Kerstin "Kicki" Håkansson, who was chosen as Miss World on April 19, 1951, when it was arranged for the very first time on the magazine Billed bladet.
On Picture Post, Margit Carlqvist graces the cover. Beautiful and summery in 1952, the same year she appeared in three films. The nice picture and the square film format when the picture is not cropped like on the cover, she is truly beautiful.
Happy birthday to Margaret.
