Biography

In the years 1952–1954 he was married to Ulla Olofsson (1923–2009) and 1955–1961 to the actress Anna-Greta Bergman.[1] He had a daughter Annina Rabe (b. 1963) together with the script and TV producer Ruth Rabe (1934–1992). He was later married to Mary LaPoint Ahlberg until his death.[2]

The first feature Ahlberg directed was the Danish erotic classic I, a Woman (Denmark, 1965) which went on to international success, especially in the United States. He quickly became identified with erotic fare, directing two sequels to I, a Woman[3][4] as well as a Swedish version of Fanny Hill (Sweden, 1968), starring Diana Kjær and Oscar Ljung. During the 1970s, he developed a conspicuous collaboration with actress Marie Forså.

Ahlberg moved to the United States in the late 1970s and worked mostly as a cinematographer on American productions; he was frequently hired by producer Charles Band, and worked on such Band productions as Re-Animator (1985), From Beyond (1986), and Dolls (1987), all three of which were directed by Stuart Gordon.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
