Marie Richardson was born in Hälsingland, Sweden, on 6 June 1959.

MARIE RICHARDSON
After Skara, Richardson moved to Gothenburg where she worked as a dresser at the Stadsteater (Gothenburg City Theatre), at the same time as she worked with various theatre groups and applied at drama schools both in Gothenburg and Malmö, before she was accepted at Scenskolan, the National Academy of Dramatic Arts in Stockholm, where she was a student from 1982 until 1985 along with her classmate from Skara, Pia Johansson, with whom she also shared a flat at Södermalm. What is popularly known as Scenskolan has its roots from the Drama School of the Royal Dramatic Theatre founded by King Gustav III in 1787 and is rich in tradition. Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, Max von Sydow and Bibi Andersson, just to name a few, all graduated from this drama school. The formal name is now Stockholms Dramatiska Högskola (Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts) and in the 1970s it moved from Filmstaden in the northern outskirts of Stockholm to the southern neighbourhood of Södermalm.
