Gunnel Lindblom, sensual star of Ingmar Bergman’s ‘The Silence,’ dies at 89 Tim Page Gunnel Lindblom, a Swedish actress and director who played small, indelible roles in some of Ingmar Bergman’s most celebrated early films and then a central character in the once-scandalous “The Silence” (1963), died Jan. 24 at her home in Brottby, northeast of Stockholm. She was 89. Her family announced the death and did not provide a cause. In Ms. Lindblom’s first movie for Bergman, she spoke only one line. She played a servant girl, described as mute, in “The Seventh Seal” (1957), Bergman’s international breakthrough.
