Little Known Spaghetti Western Actors ~ Ingeborg Carlsson

[These daily posts will cover little known actors or people that have appeared in more recent films and TV series. Various degrees of information that I was able to find will be given and anything that you can add would be appreciated.]

Ingeborg Carlsson does not appear in any of the Swedish film databases, so I suspect she is of Swedish heritage but born in Germany or her family moved there when she was at an early age. I can find no birthdate or death records on her.

Carlsson was an actress that took part in few movies in the mid-1930s, among them in two productions with the movie star Luis Trenker.

She acted in her only Euro-western film "Der Kaiser von Kalifornien" (The Emperor of California (1936) with Luis Trenker, Viktoria von Ballasko, Bernhard Minetti and Marcella Albani, followed in the same year by the production "90 Minuten Aufenthalt" with Harry Piel, Alexander Golling, Else von Möllendorff and Eduard von Winterstein.

1937 followed with her last cinematic appearances and she again had supporting roles in the films "Die Kreutzersonate" by Veit Harlan with Lil Dagover, Peter Petersen, Albrecht Schoenhals, Hilde Körber, Paul Bildt and the young Wolfgang Kieling as well as "Condottieri" with Luis Trenker, Oreste Bilancia and Loris Gizzi.

In 1971’s “Giu la testa” (Duck You Sucker” we see a busy train station scene with a train loaded with passengers and Mexican soldiers clamoring aboard in a hectic fashion. This was filmed at Azucarera de San Torcuato in Guadix, Granada, Spain.

Erika Carlsson is/was an American actress who worked in many Mexican films during the 1970s and 1980s.

Carlsson began her acting career with supporting roles in Mexican feature films. From the 1970s onwards, while also appearing in U.S. feature films. In 1981 she had roles in “Four Pastor's Daughters”, “Macabra” and “Caveman”, “Triumphs of a Man Called Horse” and “The Honorary Consul”. In 1990, she played a supporting role in the feature film “Total Recall”, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Towards the end of the 20th century, roles in the films “Perdita Durango” and “The Mask of Zorro” followed. In 2001, she took on a speaking role in the video game ‘MechCommander 2’. In 2012, she was last seen in a film with a role in “In the Footsteps of Marsupilami”.

Michael Ferguson discovered Erika records two records in Mexico, one "Los Pajaros y Las Aberjas" in 1965 so we believe she would have been born sometime in the mid-1940s.
