Georg Fernqvist

Biography

Stockholm greeted Georg Fernqvist on 27 March 1883, and the capital’s stages and studios kept him busy for the next seven decades. First flickering across screens in 1912’s *The Springtime of Life*, he later slipped into the shadows of 1915’s *Madame de Thebes* before re-emerging in 1943 as part of *Life in the Country*. The curtain finally fell on 23 December 1954, closing a career that had spanned the birth of Swedish cinema to its golden age.
