úPARA ¢PAR@ ` 3TEXT ` %Bergman, Ingrid1915╨1982actorBorn in Stockholm, Sweden, on August 29, 1915, Ingrid Bergman suffered multiple early losses. Her mother, Friedel, died when she was just three years old. Her father, Justus, a painter turned photographer, died when she was thirteen. The unmarried aunt with whom she was sent to live died six months later. Finally she was raised by an uncle while she attended a private school for girls until she was eighteen. Despite shyness and the resistance of her relatives, she worked assiduously to pass the difficult exams for admission to the Royal Dramatic Theatre School in Stockholm. After a year at school, she secured a part in the film Munkbrogreven, 1934. As a fledgling actress, she met Petter Lindstrom, a dentist who later became a neuro-surgeon, and they were married in 1937. The couple settled in Stockholm, where their daughter Pia was born. Within three years of her film debut she was a star, and she signed a five-year contract with Gustav Molander, the director of her best-known early film, Intermezzo, 1936. Her performance so impressed producer David Selznick that he signed her to do a Hollywood remake of the film. The immediate success of her American debut in Intermezzo, 1939, led to a long-term contract with Selznick. Bergman moved to the U.S. after the outbreak of World War II in Europe. Between 1942 and 1946, she appeared in some of the most popular films in history: Casablanca, 1942, For Whom the Bell Tolls, 1943, Gaslight, 1944, for which she won an Academy Award, The Bells of St. Mary╒s, 1945, Spellbound, 1945, and Notorious, 1946. In 1946 she became the top money earner of all Hollywood actresses. Also in that year, she was offered the opportunity to play Joan of Arc on Broadway in Joan of Lorraine, a role for which she won a Tony Award. Her marriage foundered and, according to her own account, she had a long affair with the photographer Robert Capa. Impressed with the films of Roberto Rosellini, she wrote to ask him if she might play a part in one. She left for Rome in 1949 and their working relationship blossomed into a love affair╤outraging the American public who had become enthralled with the purity she projected on the silver screen. Her reputation ruined, she was exiled from Hollywood and branded in the U.S. Senate as a ╥powerful influence for evil.╙ She married Rosellini and turned to family life, giving birth to Robertino in 1950 and to twin daughters in 1952. By the time their marriage had ended, she had made six films with Rosellini, none of them successful. For her performance in Anastasia, which was released in the U.S. in 1956, she won a second Oscar and the New York Film Critics╒ Award. After eight years abroad, she was welcomed back by cheering crowds and the press, apparently forgiven for earlier indiscretions. She married theatrical producer Lars Schmidt in 1958, divorcing him in 1975. She made her American television debut in 1959 as a frightened governess in NBC╒s Turn of the Screw, for which she won an Emmy Award. In 1974 she won her third Academy Award for Murder on the Orient Express, but most agree that her finest late performance was as the neurotic mother in Ingmar Bergman╒s Autumn Sonata, 1978. By then she had been struggling with cancer for four years and announced that she had made her last film. In 1980 she published her autobiography Ingrid Bergman, My Story. She returned to television to play Golda Meir in ╥A Woman Called Golda,╙ for which she was posthumously awarded an Emmy in 1982. She died in London on her 67th birthday in 1982.
