Ingrid Bergman Audio|sv-Ingrid_Bergman.ogg|listen
(August 29, 1915 – August 29, 1982) was an
Academy Award-winning Sweden|Swedish
Actor|actress.

Bergman was born in Stockholm, Sweden. When still
very young, she lost both of her parents and was
raised by relatives; she studied at the Royal
Dramatic Theater in Stockholm and had a small role
in Munkbrogreven (1934), her first movie. After a
dozen films in Sweden, Bergman was signed by David
O. Selznick to star in the remake of Intermezzo
(1939 movie)|Intermezzo (1939). The film was an
enormous success and "Sweden's illustrious gift to
Hollywood" had arrived.

After completing a few pictures in Sweden and
appearing in three successful films in the United
States, Bergman joined Humphrey Bogart in the 1942
classic film Casablanca (movie)|Casablanca. Two
years later she received her first Academy Award
nomination for Academy_Award_for_Best Actress|Best
Actress for the film, For Whom the Bell Tolls
(1943). The following year she won Best Actress
for Gaslight (1944 film)|Gaslight (1944). She
received a third consecutive nomination for Best
Actress with her performance in The Bells of St.
Mary's (1945). She would receive another Best
Actress nomination for Joan of Arc (movie)|Joan of
Arc (1948).

In 1949 Bergman met Film director|director Roberto
Rossellini. She fell in love with him while
performing in his film Stromboli (movie)|Stromboli
(1950). Bergman left both her husband, Dr. Aron
Petter Lindström and their daughter Pia
Lindström for Rossellini, and they married and
had 3 children, including twin daughters actresses
Isabella Rossellini Isotta Rossellini, and son,
Roberto Ingmar Rossellini. The affair caused was a
scandal in both Hollywood and with the public;
Bergman, who was pregnant at the time of the
marriage, was branded as "Hollywood's apostle of
degradation" and forced to leave the States. 

With her starring role in (1956)'s Anastasia (1956
movie)|Anastasia, Bergman made her post-scandal
return to Hollywood and won Best Actress for a
second time. She would continue to alternate
between performances in American and European
films. She received her third Academy Award (and
first for Academy Award for Best Supporting
Actress|Best Supporting Actress) for her
performance in Murder on the Orient Express
(1975). In 1978 she played in Ingmar Bergman's
Autumn Sonata (also known as Höstsonaten) for
which she received her seventh Academy Award
nomination and made her final performance on the
big screen.  It is considered to be among her best
performances. 

She could speak Swedish (language)|Swedish, German
language|German, French language|French, English
language|English and Italian language|Italian
fluently, which caused fellow actor John Gielgud's
remark, "She speaks five languages, and can't act
in any of them". Her last husband, Lars Schmidt,
was a callow and much-younger man, but Bergman
accepted his dalliances with equanimity.

She died of complications from terminal breast
cancer on her 67th birthday (which caused some to
intimate that she had hastened her own end) in
1982 in London, England. She was cremated in
Sweden, her ashes scattered with a part kept to be
interred in the Norra begravningsplatsen in
Stockholm.

Bergman was honored posthumously with an Emmy
Award for Best Actress in 1982 for the television
mini-series A Woman Called Golda, about Israeli
prime minister Golda Meir.

For her contribution to the motion picture
industry, Ingrid Bergman has a star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6759 Hollywood Blvd.
