Last year, Allan Svensson told Hänt that he lives permanently at a care and nursing home outside Stockholm.
He fell asleep quietly and peacefully. It was expected, he was sick with prostate cancer, says his daughter-in-law Linda van den Tempel to Expressen on Sunday.
In the TV series "Svensson, Svensson", Allan Svensson became very popular as the mailman Gustav Svensson. The series ran for four seasons on TV and was also made into a feature film.
Allan Svensson trained at the Theatre Academy in Gothenburg at the end of the 1970s.
At the same time, he broke through as the home owner Erik in the SVT series "Hedebyborna".
Allan Svensson has also participated in films, productions, and TV series – for example, "Hassel" and the musical "Singin’ in the rain" at the private Oscarsteatern in Stockholm.
He has been part of the permanent ensemble at the Stockholm City Theatre, and has both acted and directed.
When Allan Svensson turned 70, he declared that "Det susar i säven", which was staged at the Stockholm City Theatre in 1992, was a career highlight.
Peter Harryson played Paddan. I directed it and it became a huge success and ran for full houses for several years, he said then according to Aftonbladet.
