Julia Dufvenius

Her television roles also include Häxdansen (2008), Gynekologen i Askim (2011), Mammor! (2016), and a lead role as a lawyer in Heder (2019). In the wake of the 2017 Me Too movement, she was one of a number of actresses who shared stories of harassment in the entertainment industry. Dufvenius went on leave from the Royal Dramatic Theatre, after criticising their handling of alleged harassment by a male colleague. In 2019, she appeared on the reality television show Stjärnorna på slottet.

Her breakthrough was in 1997 when she starred as a strong and independent woman in the SVT miniseries Glappet. After graduation, she appeared in a small role in Ingmar Bergman's stage production of Friedrich Schiller's Mary Stuart (2000) at the Royal Dramatic Theatre. This led to Dufvenius getting a role, which was specially written for her, in Bergman's last film Saraband in 2003. At the Royal Dramatic Theatre, she has starred in several productions including playing Regan in King Lear (2003), Sofia in Uncle Vanya (2008), and the title role in Jane Eyre (2009). In 2015, Dufvenius appeared in Den försvunna ringen at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin. The production involved actors and directors from several European nations. It was thematically inspired by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing's play Nathan the Wise.
