Did You Know?

Personal Quote:

[when asked, "Which of your films are you proudest of?"] Rebekka (1940) is a fantastic story, marvelously directed and produced. I like Varhaiskypsää rakkautta (1943) very much, and although Vaarallisia valheita (1941) isn't a classic like Rebecca, it's damn good. See more »

Trivia:

Starred in three Oscar Best Picture nominees: Rebekka (1940), Vaarallisia valheita (1941) and Ivanhoe (1952). Rebecca is the only winner. See more »
