A native of Stockholm, Jan Molander was the son of actor/director Gustaf Molander and Elsa Fahlberg and the half-brother of director and producer Harald Molander from his father's first marriage to actress Karin Molander. From 1942 to 1945 he was a pupil at the Dramatens elevskola [The Royal Dramatic Theatre's acting school] and made his film debut playing a student in 1944's critically acclaimed Hets (Torment), directed by Alf Sjöberg and written by the film's assistant director Ingmar Bergman. He worked for Sveriges Radio and television in the 1950s and 60s as a director and was in charge of radioteatern [radio theater] between 1969 and 1972.

Jan Molander died on 30 June 2009, at the age of 89, and a tribute to him by Rutger Barnekow and Mats Qviberg was published in the 3 July 2009 edition of Sweden's largest-circulation morning newspaper, Dagens Nyheter. His daughters Anita Molander (born 1950) and Mari Molander (born 1954) have also had careers in the entertainment industry—Anita as an actress and Mari as a dancer, actress and director. His granddaughter Dao Di Ponziano is an actress and singer.

Selected filmography

gollark: <@151391317740486657> *But* computer PSUs also have 5V rails. 12V and 3.3V too though, I'm not sure why they didn't use those.
gollark: I mean, this spreads very well, is 2%-ish lethal, and leaves a decent amount of people with severe symptoms and needing lots of medical treatment.
gollark: The left one.
