Ulla Jacobsson (23 May 1929 – 20 August 1982) was a Swedish actress who is perhaps best known for playing the only female speaking role in the film Zulu (1964).
Jacobsson was born in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1929. She was one of 48 candidates chosen to attend the famed Gothenburg Theatre School. Originally a stage actress, she started appearing in English language films in the early 1960s and tended to play serious and anxious looking characters. She first become known internationally for her nude scenes in One Summer of Happiness (1951). Other notable roles include Ingmar Bergman's Smiles of a Summer Night (1955), Zulu (1964), The Heroes of Telemark (1965) and La Servante (1970). A role in the American film Love Is a Ball (1963) was an attempt to make her a sex symbol. She won the German Film Award for Supporting Actress in Alle Jahre wieder (1967). Ulla made her first U.S-made debut "The Grand Duke and Mr. Pimm. According to "Metropolitan Life" Ulla believed she could be successful in acting and marriage. She only took two acting jobs a year in order to travel with her husband. "When a very good part comes, there is temptation to take it, but I refuse. I love success. I love make myself something. But I love more my husband and children"
She was married three times. Her last husband was Austrian ethnologist Hans Winfried Rohsmann (1918–2002). Together they had two children, a girl Ditte and a boy Martin. Jacobsson's film career tailed off in the 1970s, and she died in Vienna, Austria, from bone cancer at age 53. She was buried at the Wiener Zentralfriedhof.
