Marie Göranzon: The outstanding Marie Göranzon rages against HR, Busch and electric scooters

Swedish actress Marie Göranzon, a grande dame of the stage, is sharing intimate details of her life and career in her fourth "Sommarprat" radio appearance. This time, she promises to "burn something," referring to her decision to destroy her personal diaries, which she began writing in the 1960s.

The diaries chronicled the "lightning love" she felt for actor Jan Malmsjö, a passion that led her to leave her marriage and stop being a "good girl." Göranzon recounts the ensuing gossip at Stockholm's Royal Dramatic Theatre, vividly imitating comments from Ingmar Bergman and Margaretha Krook. Only actress Lena Nyman offered support, telling Göranzon she and Malmsjö were "made for each other."

The moral went before the legal, it became arbitrary. Metoo was a good movement, but it killed some things.

Göranzon also touches upon the chaotic rehearsals for the 1998 production of "Long Day's Journey into Night" at Dramaten, a successful show where she starred alongside Mikael Persbrandt and Keve Hjelm. Despite the challenges, she recalls a period under director Thorsten Flinck as the best of her professional life.

In a more controversial segment, Göranzon addresses the #MeToo movement, noting that some of her previous statements were omitted from interviews. "The moral went before the legal, it became arbitrary. Metoo was a good movement, but it killed some things," she states sadly. She also humorously contemplates entering politics, makes a jab at politician Ebba Busch, and expresses annoyance with electric scooters and "new EU idiots."

You are made for each other, you will live your whole lives together.
