context_page_description: Mai Elisabeth Zetterling was a Swedish actress and film director.
context_section_description: Zetterling was married to Norwegian actor Tutte Lemkow from 1944 to 1953. They had a daughter, Etienne and a son, Louis, who is professor of environmental sociology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. In her autobiography, All Those Tomorrows, published in 1985, Zetterling details love affairs with actor Herbert Lom and, later, Tyrone Power, with whom she lived from 1956 until early 1958. From 1958 to 1976 she was married to British author David Hughes, who collaborated with her on her first films as director. The couple were friends with the composer Michael Hurd, who wrote the music scores for Flickorna and Scrubbers.
  Documents at the National Archives in London show that, as a member of the Hollywood Left, she was watched by British security agents as a suspected Communist. However, the UK never had a system along the lines of the American Hollywood Blacklist. 
  In 1994, a year after her final role on television, she died from cancer, aged 68, in her home in London.
