Ingrid Bergman - a life in pictures

Więcej o książce

Ingrid Bergman is often regarded as the greatest film actress of the 20th century. In celebration of her 100th birthday on August 29, 2015, her four children—Pia Lindström, Isabella, Ingrid, and Roberto Rossellini—have granted Schirmer/Mosel access to their family archive to create her essential pictorial biography. Bergman began her career in Sweden during the 1930s, achieving international fame in Hollywood with iconic films like Casablanca and For Whom the Bell Tolls. After leaving her first marriage and Hollywood, she moved to Rome, where she collaborated with Roberto Rossellini, resulting in three children and five films. Following her divorce, she made a remarkable return to Hollywood, New York, Paris, and London, experiencing a vibrant life and career that spanned 44 movies. Highlights include her collaborations with Alfred Hitchcock and her relationship with photographer Robert Capa, as well as her return to Sweden for a film with Ingmar Bergman. This book features an introduction by Liv Ullmann, her co-star in Autumn Sonata, and a stunning collection of photographs—unpublished private images, glamorous portraits, film stills, and candid paparazzi shots—accompanied by original texts from Bergman and her renowned colleagues, celebrating her extraordinary legacy.
