Linnanheimo in 1943

Axa Regina Elisabeth Linnanheimo (until 1924 Leino, since 1948 Regina Mörner, 7 September 1915, Helsinki – 24 January 1995) was a Finnish actress and screenwriter. Her sister Rakel Linnanheimo (1908–2004) was also an actress.[1] Linnanheimo was married to Count Carl Robert Mörner 1948–1952, until his death. After she ended her film career in 1956, she started to work as a translator for the Finnish Broadcasting Company using the name Regina Mörner.[2]

Collaborations with Teuvo Tulio

Regina Linnanheimo was one of the stars of the so-called Golden Age of Finnish cinema between 1934-1939. As a teenager she was a big fan of Greta Garbo and Colleen Moore.

She specialized in romantic and historical costume films and melodramas, such as Kulkurin valssi (1941) and Katariina ja Munkkiniemen kreivi (1943).

On the other hand, Linnanheimo showcased her tendencies for darker undertones in several Teuvo Tulio films. The two collaborated frequently, with Linnanheimo often serving both as an actress and a screenwriter.[3] In 1946, she received a Jussi Award for best actress for Tulio films Levoton veri (Restless Blood) and Rakkauden risti (Cross of Love) . Olet mennyt minun vereeni (You've Gone in My Blood, 1956) was their last film together and also the final film of Linnanheimo's career.[4]
