Ullmann began her acting career as a stage actress in Norway during the mid-1950s. She continued to act in theatre for most of her career and became noted for her portrayal of [[Nora Helmer]] in [[Henrik Ibsen]]'s play ''[[A Doll's House]]''.

She became better known once she started to work with Swedish movie director [[Ingmar Bergman]]. She later acted, with acclaim, in 10 of his movies, including ''[[Persona (1966 film)|Persona]]'' (1966), ''[[The Passion of Anna]]'' (1969), ''[[Cries and Whispers]]'' (1972), and ''[[Autumn Sonata]]'' (1978), in the last of which her co-actress [[Ingrid Bergman]] resumed her own Swedish cinema career. She co-acted often with Swedish actor and fellow Bergman collaborator [[Erland Josephson]], with whom she made the Swedish television drama ''[[Scenes from a Marriage]]'' (1973), which was also edited to feature-movie length and distributed theatrically. Ullmann acted with [[Laurence Olivier]] in ''[[A Bridge Too Far (film)|A Bridge Too Far]]'' (1977), directed by [[Richard Attenborough]].

Nominated more than 40 times for awards, including various lifetime achievement awards, she won the best-actress prize three times from the [[National Society of Film Critics]] and three times from the [[National Board of Review]], received three awards from the [[New York Film Critics Circle]], and a [[Golden Globe]]. During 1971, Ullmann was nominated for an [[Academy Award]] for Best Actress for the movie ''[[The Emigrants (film)|The Emigrants]]'', and again during 1976 for the movie ''[[Face to Face (1976 film)|Face to Face]]''.

Ullmann made her New York City stage debut in 1975, also in ''[[A Doll's House]]''. Appearances in ''[[Anna Christie]]'' and ''[[Ghosts (play)|Ghosts]]'' followed, as well as the less-than-successful musical version of ''[[I Remember Mama (musical)|I Remember Mama]]''. This show, composed by [[Richard Rodgers]], experienced numerous revisions during a long preview period, then closed after 108 performances. She also featured in the widely deprecated musical movie remake of ''[[Lost Horizon (1973 film)|Lost Horizon]]'' during 1973. In 1977, when she appeared on Broadway at the [[Imperial Theatre]] in [[Eugene O'Neill]]'s ''Anna Christie'', ''[[The New York Times]]'' said that she "glowed with despair and hope, and was everything one could have wished her to have been" in a performance "not to be missed and never to be forgotten", with her "grace and authority" that was "perhaps more than Garbo...born for Anna Christie:--Or more properly, Anna Christie was born for her."<ref>{{cite news|last=Barnes|first=Clive|title=Theater: Liv Ullman's 'Anna Christie'|work=The New York Times|date=15 April 1977}}</ref>

In 1980, [[Brian De Palma]], who directed ''[[Carrie (1976 film)|Carrie]]'', wanted Liv Ullmann to play the role of Kate Miller in the erotic crime thriller ''[[Dressed to Kill (1980 film)|Dressed to Kill]]'' and offered it to her, but she declined because of the violence.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2008/07/29/dressed-to-kill-1980/ |title=Dressed to Kill (1980) |website=thisdistractedglobe.com |access-date=11 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180630161703/http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2008/07/29/dressed-to-kill-1980/ |archive-date=30 June 2018 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The role subsequently went to [[Angie Dickinson]]. In 1982, Ingmar Bergman wanted Ullmann to play Emelie Ekdahl in his last feature film, ''[[Fanny and Alexander]]'', and wrote the role with this in mind.<ref name="tv.nrk.no">{{cite web |url=http://tv.nrk.no/serie/viggo-paa-loerdag/NNFA58102310/23-10-2010 |title=NRK TV – Se Viggo på lørdag |date=18 September 2013 |access-date=11 December 2018 |archive-date=25 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201125144418/https://tv.nrk.no/serie/viggo-paa-loerdag/NNFA58102310/23-10-2010 |url-status=live }}</ref> She declined it, feeling the role was too sad. She later stated in interviews that turning it down was one of the few things she really regretted.<ref name="tv.nrk.no"/>

During 1984, she was chairperson of the jury at the [[34th Berlin International Film Festival]],<ref name="Berlinale">{{cite web |url=http://www.berlinale.de/en/archiv/jahresarchive/1984/04_jury_1984/04_Jury_1984.html |title=Berlinale: 1984 Juries |access-date=21 November 2010 |publisher=[[Berlin International Film Festival]] |archive-date=23 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131023121717/http://www.berlinale.de/en/archiv/jahresarchive/1984/04_jury_1984/04_Jury_1984.html |url-status=live }}</ref> and during 2001 chaired the jury of the Cannes Film Festival. She introduced her daughter, [[Linn Ullmann]], to the audience with the words: "Here comes the woman whom Ingmar Bergman loves the most". Her daughter was there to receive the Prize of Honour on behalf of her father; she would return to serve the jury herself during 2011. She published two autobiographies, ''Changing'' (1977) and ''Choices'' (1984).

Ullmann's first film as a director was ''[[Sofie (film)|Sofie]]'' (1992); her friend and former co-actor, Erland Josephson, starred on it. She later directed the Bergman-composed movie ''[[Faithless (2000 film)|Faithless]]'' (2000). ''Faithless'' garnered nominations for both the [[Palme d'Or]] and Best Actress category at the [[Cannes Film Festival]].

In 2003, Ullmann reprised her role for ''Scenes from a Marriage'' in ''[[Saraband]]'' (2003), Bergman's final telemovie. Her previous screen role had been in the Swedish movie ''Zorn'' (1994).

In 2004, Ullmann revealed that she had received an offer in November 2003 to play in three episodes of the American television series, ''[[Sex and the City]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vg.no/rampelys/tv/sex-og-singelliv-for-liv-ullmann/a/202460/ |title=Sex og singelliv for Liv Ullmann |date=21 November 2003 |access-date=11 December 2018 |archive-date=22 March 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180322082134/https://www.vg.no/rampelys/tv/sex-og-singelliv-for-liv-ullmann/a/202460/ |url-status=live }}</ref> She was amused by the offer, and said that it was one of the few programs she regularly watched, but she turned it down.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dagbladet.no/kultur/2003/11/20/384081.html |title=Sex og singel-Liv |date=20 November 2003 |access-date=11 December 2018 |archive-date=24 September 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160924230726/http://www.dagbladet.no/kultur/2003/11/20/384081.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Later that year, [[Steven Soderbergh]] wrote a role in the movie ''[[Ocean's 12]]'' especially for her, but she also turned that down.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dagbladet.no/2012/09/14/magasinet/filml/teater/skuespillere/film/23407425/ |title=Eventyrlig Liv |date=15 September 2012 |access-date=11 December 2018 |archive-date=24 September 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160924231123/http://www.dagbladet.no/2012/09/14/magasinet/filml/teater/skuespillere/film/23407425/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

During 2006, Ullmann announced that she had been forced to end her longtime wish of making a film based on ''A Doll's House''. According to her statement, the Norwegian Film Fund was preventing writer [[Ketil Bjørnstad]] and her from pursuing the project. Australian actress [[Cate Blanchett]] and British actress [[Kate Winslet]] had been intended to have been cast in the main roles of the movie. She later directed Blanchett in the play ''[[A Streetcar Named Desire (play)|A Streetcar Named Desire]]'', by [[Tennessee Williams]], at the [[Sydney Theatre Company]] in Sydney, which was performed September through October 2009, and then continued from 29 October to 21 November 2009 at the [[John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts]] in Washington, DC, where it won a<!--- "a" - not "the" - because there are several awards --> [[Helen Hayes Award]] for Outstanding Non-resident Production, as well as actress and supporting performer for 2009. The play was also performed at the [[Brooklyn Academy of Music]] in [[Brooklyn]], New York. Ullmann narrated the Canada–Norway co-produced animated short movie ''[[The Danish Poet]]'' (2006), which won the [[Academy Award for Animated Short Film]] at the [[79th Academy Awards]] during 2007. <!--She was the recipient of The International Center in New York's Award of Excellence.
