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. The apocalyptic story, based on the Book of Revelation and set during the years of the Black Plague, tells of a Knight (Max von Sydow) who bargains desperately for more time to be alive with the character of Death by engaging him in a game of chess.
