Ingrid Bergman
Ingrid Bergman as born August 29, 1915, in Stockholm, Sweden. Originally a Swedish actress, her Hollywood career started when she appeared in Intermezzo: A Love Story, which was immediately remade in the U.S., with Leslie Howard as her leading man. Wisked out of Sweden just as the Nazi's were on her footsteps, Bergman was immediately considered a "new brand of star" in Hollywood, refusing to change her name, or her appearance, as was required of many of Hollywood's brightest actresses of the time. Instead, she was known for her clean, fresh image. Bergman's career took an unlikely turn when she left her husband, Peter Lindstrom, for an Italian film director.
Because she had been married before the start of her film career and had a daughter with first husband Peter, the publicists had a field day. After been shunned by Hollywood, as well as the U.S. Government, she was reinstated into Hollywood's royalty, and eventually given a formal apology. Her broadway credits include Liliom, which became the basis for the popular musical Carousel. She earned 3 Oscars from 5 Academy nominations, and her pictures included Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Gas Light, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Joan of Arc, Notorious, Anastasia, Murder On The Orient Express, and, of course, Casablanca.
