AHMATOVA Ana Andrejevna 23. 6. 1889 - 5. 3. 1966
Ana Andrejevna Ahmatova (psevdonim Ana Ahmatova), ruska pesnica, pisateljica, literarna zgodovinarka, literarna kritičarka in prevajalka je bila ena od najbolj priznanih ruskih modernističnih pesnic. Njena dela obsegajo različne vrste pesniških del, od kratkih pesmi do pesniških ciklov, kot je tragična mojstrovina o času stalinove vlade Rekvijem (1935-40). Njen pesniški slog je izviren in se močno razlikuje od njenih sodobnikov. Stalinistična oblast je njena dela obsodila. Za razliko od mnogih drugih ustvarjalcev tega obdobja se Ahmatova ni odločila za izselitev iz Rusije temveč je ostala in postala priča grozotam režima. Ahmatova je dolga leta preživela v nenaklonjenosti režima.

Anna Akhmatova  was a Russian modernist poet, one of the most acclaimed writers in the Russian canon. Akhmatova's work ranges from short lyric poems to intricately structured cycles, such as Requiem (1935–40), her tragic masterpiece about the Stalinist terror. Her style, characterised by its economy and emotional restraint, was strikingly original and distinctive to her contemporaries. The strong and clear leading female voice struck a new chord in Russian poetry. Her writing can be said to fall into two periods – the early work (1912–25) and her later work (from around 1936 until her death), divided by a decade of reduced literary output. Her work was condemned and censored by Stalinist authorities and she is notable for choosing not to emigrate, and remaining in Russia, acting as witness to the events around her. Her perennial themes include meditations on time and memory, and the difficulties of living and writing in the shadow of Stalinism.

ANDERSSON Bibbi 11. 11. 1935 - 14.4.2019
Švedska filmska igralka je začela igrati v gledališču Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern. Ingmar Bergman jo je odkril, ko je 17 letna nastopala v Malmoju. Najprej je igrala v majhni  toda sijajni vlogi v TV filmu Nasmeh poletne noči (1955). Igrala je v filmih: Sedmi pečat, Divje jagode, Kriki in šepetanje.
Na znamki S-3232 je tudi Liv Ullmann.

Swedish actress Bibi Andersson received her training at the legendary Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern, then graduated to the Royal Theatre of Stockholm. While performing in a stage production in Malmo, the 17-year-old Bibi, she was discovered for films by Ingmar Bergman, who tested her in a TV soap commercial before casting her in a small but showy role in Smiles of a Summer Night (1955). Exhibiting a more capricious image than most Bergman heroines, Ms. Andersson played breezily insouciant characters in the otherwise sober-sided The seventh Seal (1957) and Wild Strawberries (1958). Her first important all-dramatic assignment was the neurotic unwed mother-to-be in Bergman's Brink of Life , for which she was honored with a Cannes Film Festival prize. Arguably her finest work under Bergman's guidance was as garrulous nurse Alma in Persona (1966), who gradually exchanges personalities with her near-comatose patient Liv Ullmann. She was also featured in one episode of Bergman's made-for-television Scenes from a Marriage (1973). On the Swedish stage, Bibi has starred in such imports as Arthur Miller's After the Fall and Edward Albee's Who`s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.
On stamp S-3232 is also Liv Ullmann.

Trained as a dancer, Harriet Andersson worked her way up from the chorus in Swedish musical revues to supporting parts in films. Impressed by her work in a previous picture, director Ingmar Bergman fashioned a vehicle specifically tailored to Harriet's talents, Summer With Monika (1953). Exuding an earthy, sexually insatiable screen image, Harriet gained international fame with her next Bergman project, Sawdust and Tinsel (1953), in which her slatternly character committed many of her worst indiscretions in the nude. Never confined to any one characterization, Harriet proved to be one of the most versatile members of the Bergman stock company: some of her finest work can be seen in Through a Glass Darkly (1961), and, as the dying Agnes, in Cries and Whispers (1973). She remained with Bergman all the way up to his last theatrical feature, Fanny and Alexander (1982), in which she was cast as Justina.

In 1992 she started running competitively at the Athletics Training Center in Çankırı. "It was during a local championship and there my present coach Yücel Kop discovered me. I loved running since I was a little girl. I think it is the only activity that evolves and I still do" she said once. She already holds Turkish records in 800m (2:00:64) and 1500m (3:55:33). She became the first Turkish woman ever to reach an Olympic semifinal during her participation in the OG 2000 in Sydney.  The next year, she became the first Turkish woman to reach a World Championship final.
