Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
Ingrid Bergman's dramatic story is as compelling as any of the women she portrayed in dozens of memorable movies and plays, an impressive list that includes "Intermezzo, The Bells of St. Mary's, Spellbound, Notorious, Anastasia, Hedda Gabler" and" A Woman Called Golda." Whether acting the role of saint or sinner, Bergman found in her characters the extremes of her own devoted and passionate nature. This riveting biography takes readers from her blighted childhood in Sweden to her time in Nazi Germany; from the golden age of Hollywood to her status as an international star on the stages and screens of Europe and America; from the time she was branded "an apostle of degradation" to the twilight of her life, when she endured a tragic final illness with grace and courage.
The supporting cast in her life story is a veritable International Who's Who, and includes, among many others, David O. Selznick, Alfred Hitchcock, Roberto Rossellini, Spencer Tracy, Gary Cooper, Howard Hughes, Cary Grant, Bing Crosby, John Gielgud, Yul Brynner and Robert Capa.
