Description: Ingrid Bergman was a Swedish actress who starred in a variety of European and American films. She won three Academy Awards, two Emmy Awards, four Golden Globe Awards and the Tony Award for Best Actress. She is ranked as the fourth greatest female star of American cinema of all time by the American Film Institute. She is best remembered for her roles as Ilsa Lund in Casablanca (1942), and as Alicia Huberman in Notorious (1946), an Alfred Hitchcock thriller starring Cary Grant.

She won three Academy Awards, two Emmy Awards, four Golden Globe Awards and the Tony Award for Best Actress. She is ranked as the fourth greatest female star of American cinema of all time by the American Film Institute. She is best remembered for her roles as Ilsa Lund in Casablanca (1942), and as Alicia Huberman in Notorious (1946), an Alfred Hitchcock thriller starring Cary Grant.

Before becoming a star in American films, she had been a leading actress in Swedish films. Her first introduction to U.S. audiences came with her starring role in the English-language remake of Intermezzo (1939). In the United States, she brought to the screen a "Nordic freshness and vitality", along with exceptional beauty and intelligence, and according to the St. James Encyclopedia of Popular Culture, she quickly became "the ideal of American womanhood" and one of Hollywood's greatest leading actresses. Her producer David O. Selznick later called her "the most completely conscientious actress" he had ever worked with. He started her with a one-film role at her insistence (Intermezzo), then signed a four-film contract (also at her insistence) rather than a typical seven-year acting contract.

Selznick's financial problems mean that she was often loaned to the other studios. Apart from Casablanca, her performance from this period include Victor Fleming's remake of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941),For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943), Gaslight (1944), and The Bells of St. Mary's (1945). Her last films for Selznick were, Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound (1945) and Notorious (1946). Her final film for Hitchcock was Under Capricorn (1949).

After a decade in American films, she starred in the Roberto Rossellini's Stromboli (1950), following the revelation that she was having an extra-marital affair with the director. The affair and then marriage with Rossellini created a scandal in the US that forced her to remain in Europe for several years, when she made a successful Hollywood return in Anastasia (1956), for which she won her second Academy Award. Many of her personal and film documents can be seen in the Wesleyan University Cinema Archives ... (more)

“A terrific career of over 50 years in film, television, theatre, European and American cinema, along with three Academy Awards — that’s Ingrid Bergman for you. Working in films such as Gaslight (1944), Joan of Arc (1948) and The Bells of St. Mary’s (1945), she embodied an everyday glamour that was lacking in Hollywood at the time. Bergman quickly became an onscreen representation of on-screen American femininity in the post-war years. Even though she is most remembered for playing Ilsa Lund opposite Humphrey Bogart’s Rick Blaine in Casablanca (1942), her repertoire included characters from all walks of life.

She was as adept at playing virtuous heroines, as she was at playing characters that were deeply conflicted and in distress. While a significant part of her career”
