Liv Ullmann honored with Order of St. Olav
The order, created in 1857, is awarded by King Harald V based on recommendations from a panel to Norwegians deserving a "reward for excellent services to country and mankind."
Ullmann, 66, was awarded the honor Wednesday.
She had established herself as a Norwegian stage and screen actress in the 1950s, but it was her creative liaison with Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman that gave her international stardom.
Ullmann may be best known for her roles in nine Bergman movies, including "Persona" (1966), "Shame" (1968) and "Autumn Sonata" (1978). The liaison with Bergman also turned romantic, and their five-year affair produced a daughter.
She made her debut as a director in 1992 with the film "Sofie."
The Order of St. Olav is named after the martyred Viking and Christian King Olav the Holy. There are five classes: Grand Cross, Commander with Star, Commander, Knight Class 1 and Knight.
