Ingrid Bergman (August 29, 1915 - August 29, 1982) was a Swedish actress who starred in a variety of European and American films, television movies, and plays.
According to the St. James Encyclopedia of Popular Culture, upon her arrival in the U.S. Bergman quickly became "the ideal of American womanhood" and a contender for Hollywood's greatest leading actress. She won numerous accolades, including three Academy Awards, two Primetime Emmy Awards, a Tony Award, four Golden Globe Awards, BAFTA Award and a Volpi Cup. She is one of only four actresses to have received at least three acting Academy Awards (only Katharine Hepburn has four).
Ingrid was born in Stockholm to a Swedish father and a German mother, and began her acting career in Swedish and German films. Her introduction to the U.S. audience came in the English-language remake of Intermezzo in 1939. Known for her naturally luminous beauty, she starred in Casablanca as Ilsa Lund, her most famous role, opposite Humphrey Bogart. Her notable performances in the 1940s include the dramas For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943), Gaslight (1944), The Bells of St. Mary's (1945), and Joan of Arc (1948), all of which earned her nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actress; she won for Gaslight. She made three films with Alfred Hitchcock: Spellbound (1945), with Gregory Peck, Notorious (1946), opposite Cary Grant and Under Capricorn (1949), alongside Joseph Cotten.
In 1937, at the age of 21, Bergman married dentist Petter Aron Lindström. The couple had a daughter, Friedel Pia Lindström.
She began 1950 embroiled in the scandal of the century. She left her husband and child, and had an affair with the Italian director Roberto Rossellini. Bergman returned to Europe after the scandal and begged Petter for a divorce and contact with Pia. She had asked him before but he refused. In the same month the film was released, she gave birth to a boy, Renato Roberto Ranaldo Giusto Giuseppe ("Robin") Rossellini. A week after her son was born, according to Mexican law, she divorced Lindström and married Rossellini by proxy. In 1952, she gave birth to twin daughters Isotta Ingrid Rossellini and Isabella Rossellini. Isabella Rossellini later became a noted actress in her own right. It was not until 1957 that Bergman was reunited with Pia, in Rome. Petter, however, remained bitter towards Bergman.
During this time she starred in Rossellini's Europa '51 and Journey to Italy, now critically acclaimed, the former of which won her the Volpi Cup for Best Actress. She had a successful return to working for a Hollywood studio in Anastasia (1956), winning her second Academy Award for Best Actress. Soon after, she co-starred with Grant in the romance Indiscreet (1958). In 1969, she starred in the acclaimed and highly successful film Cactus Flower. In later years, Bergman won her third Academy Award, this one for Best Supporting Actress, for her role in Murder on the Orient Express (1974). In 1978, she starred in Ingmar Bergman's (no relation) Swedish Autumn Sonata receiving her sixth Best Actress nomination. Bergman spoke five languages - Swedish, English, German, Italian and French - and acted in each.
In her final role, she portrayed the late Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir in the television miniseries A Woman Called Golda (1982) for which she posthumously won her second Emmy Award for Best Actress. In 1974, during the run of The Constant Wife in London, Bergman discovered she was suffering from breast cancer. She entered a London clinic and had her first operation. While working on Autumn Sonata, Bergman discovered another lump, and flew back to London for another surgery.
Despite her illness, she continued to work and agreed to play Golda Meir in 1981. Bergman retired to her apartment in Cheyne Gardens, London after the film had finished where she underwent chemotherapy. The cancer spreaded to her spine, and collapsed her twelfth vertebra.
She died on August 29, 1982 at midnight on her 67th birthday, in London.
With a career spanning five decades, she is often regarded as one of the most influential screen figures in cinematic history. In 1999, the American Film Institute recognised her as the fourth greatest female screen legend of Classic Hollywood Cinema.
