Johanna Sällström was born on December 30, 1974 in Stockholm, Sweden.
In 1997 she won the award Guldbaggen for best female leading role in
the movie
Under ytan (1997), which
became her big breakthrough. Getting tired off all the interest around
herself she moved to Denmark where she worked at a café shop, but in
year 2000 she went back to Sweden and continued her acting career. She
was best known for playing the police agent Linda Wallander in
Wallander (2005). Even though
Johanna Sällström often played tough on the screen, it is said she was
much more shy and quiet in her private life.
Sällström was found dead by the police at her home in Malmö, Sweden on
13th of February 2007.
