Pia Degermark’s zodiac sign is Virgo. According to astrologers, Virgos are always paying attention to the smallest details and their deep sense of humanity makes them one of the most careful signs of the zodiac. Their methodical approach to life ensures that nothing is left to chance, and although they are often tender, their heart might be closed for the outer world. This is a sign often misunderstood, not because they lack the ability to express, but because they won’t accept their feelings as valid, true, or even relevant when opposed to reason. The symbolism behind the name speaks well of their nature, born with a feeling they are experiencing everything for the first time.
Pia Degermark was born in the Year of the Ox. Another of the powerful Chinese Zodiac signs, the Ox is steadfast, solid, a goal-oriented leader, detail-oriented, hard-working, stubborn, serious and introverted but can feel lonely and insecure. Takes comfort in friends and family and is a reliable, protective and strong companion. Compatible with Snake or Rooster.
Director Bo Widerberg first spotted the teenage Pia Degermark in a newspaper photo, dancing at a party with the Swedish Crown Prince Carl Gustaf (later King Carl XVI Gustaf. Her career seemed assured after Widerberg cast her in the lead of Elvira Madigan (1967), which debuted at Cannes and garnered critical and commercial acclaim.
Degermark was heralded as the "new Ingrid Bergman" and offers came flooding in. However, in 1971 she married producer Pier A. Caminnecci (in whose film Gebissen wird nur nachts - das Happening der Vampire (1971) she appeared).
The marriage produced a son, Cesare, but ended two years later. Degermark then emigrated to the US, but returned to her native Sweden in 1979, by now gravely ill and suffering from anorexia. Her acting career now over, she founded the organization "Alfta", devoted to the aid of other women suffering from the disease.
She was eventually taken to court, accused of false claims and the organization collapsed. It was at this time that Degermark became homeless and addicted to drugs--an addiction that led her to use fraudulent checks in a desperate attempt to get money.
She was eventually arrested and committed to Stockholm's state prison.
