Ingrid Bergman was born in Stockholm, Sweden on August 29th, 1915. A lonely child after both her siblings had died in infancy and her mother passed away when she was two, she spent much of her youth taking voice lessons and being the subject of her father’s extensive photographic work. She was just 14 when he died, leaving her in the care of her paternal aunt Ellen, who died from heart disease six months later. She wound up living with her paternal uncle, by which time she had traveled to numerous countries and already spoke Swedish, German, and French fluently. She received a scholarship to the state-sponsored Royal Dramatic Training Academy, and during her first summer break she was hired by Swedish film studio Svensk Filmindustri and left school to work in movies fulltime. By the mid 1930s she was one of the most admired actresses in Sweden, appearing in 11 films before she turned 25. She made one film in Germany in 1938, but quickly broke her contract once she recognized the worsening social and political climate the Nazis had fostered. Her first film in the United States was Intermezzo in 1939, and she stayed at the home of David O. Selznick teaching herself to speak English while her husband Petter and their daughter remained in Sweden. Lauded for her natural acting and good looks (rarely filming with any make-up on at all), she became an American film star overnight, and made her Broadway debut the following year in Liliom opposite Burgess Meredith. Her best known role was in the 1942 film Casablanca, and just a year later she received her first Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for her role in For Whom the Bell Tolls. She won the award the following year for her role in Gaslight, and received her third nomination the year after that for The Bells of St. Mary’s. Her husband had moved to San Francisco to become a neurosurgeon by then, and although he quickly became aware of the numerous affairs she was having he remained with her to retain his new lavish lifestyle. Shortly after the release of the film Stromboli in 1950 her affair with the Italian director Roberto Rossellini became apparent when she gave birth to their son, and the scandal it caused in the United States badly damaged her reputation there. She divorced Petter and married Roberto later that year, giving birth to twin girls Isotta and Isabella in 1952. She spent the first half of the 1950s in Italy making films with Roberto, having taught herself to speak Italian during the making of their first film, but their relationship collapsed and ended in divorce in 1957. She returned to a more forgiving America to make more films, and married a theater entrepreneur named Lars Schmidt in 1958. They divorced in 1975, although they remained on friendly terms until her death after a prolonged battle with breast cancer on her birthday in 1982. Despite her tumultuous life, her five-decade long career has left her regarded as one of the most influential screen figures in cinematic history. She won two additional Academy Awards (Best Actress for Anastasia in 1956 and Best Supporting Actress for Murder on the Orient Express in 1974), two Emmy Awards, and a Tony Award, making her one of the rare few to achieve three out of four parts of the coveted EGOT. She is one of only four actresses to have received at least three acting Academy Awards (only Katharine Hepburn has four). In 1999, the American Film Institute recognized Bergman as the fourth-greatest female screen legend of Classic Hollywood Cinema.
