Eva Dahlbeck, 87, the Swedish actress and writer who starred in many of director Ingmar Bergman's films, died Friday in Stockholm.
Dahlbeck had suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
She was one of Sweden's most popular actresses in the 1940s and '50s and became internationally known for her strong female leads in the Bergman films "Secrets of Women" (1952), "A Lesson of Love" (1954) and "Smiles of a Summer Night" (1955).
Dahlbeck gave up acting in the 1960s for writing and wrote more than a dozen novels.
Verita Bouvaire Thompson, 89, the reputed longtime mistress and confidante of Humphrey Bogart, died Feb. 1 in New Orleans.
In 1982, Thompson wrote a revelatory book called "Bogie and Me: A Love Story" in which she described a 14-year secret love affair with Bogart that overlapped with his marriage to Lauren Bacall. Subsequent Bogart biographies corroborated her story.
Between 1950 and 1956, she traveled with Bogart, whom she met at a cast wrap-up party for the blockbuster film "Casablanca" in 1942.
