Swedish movie and radio mogul Stig Olin has died in a Stockholm nursing home.
The father of actress Lena Olin, Olin starred in a handful of early Ingmar Bergman films after making his acting debut in the early 1940s.
His first big screen hit came in 1946's Incorrigible, in which Olin portrayed a boarding school thug.
He also played a gigolo in Bergman's directorial debut Crisis.
He became a moviemaker in the early 1950s, but found his true vocation as a radio mogul in the late part of the decade, after signing up to work for Sveriges Radio, becoming the public broadcasting network's head of programming.
