"There aren't many actors who can boast seven Academy Award nods, but Ingrid Bergman wasn't just any actor. The Swedish star, born in Stockholm in 1915, took home three Oscars throughout her Hollywood career, for Gaslight, Anastasia, and Murder on the Orient Express. She is perhaps most famous for her leading role in the classic romantic drama Casablanca, but also took her talents to the stage, where she earned a Tony as the star of Joan of Lorraine."
"Despite being one of the most in-demand actors in Hollywood, Bergman sought to preserve the sanctity of her domestic life. "I work so hard before the camera and on the stage that I have neither the desire nor the energy to act in my private life," she told The New York Times in 1943. "There I prefer to be myself and forget all about audiences and look after my family.""
"Bergman's marriage to Swedish neurosurgeon Petter Lindström, with whom she had her first daughter, Pia, brought her from a quaint yellow house in Stockholm to a sprawling Beverly Hills estate. "I did love our house," she said of the California ranch-style abode in her 1980 memoir, Ingrid Bergman: My Story. "We'd chosen it together and we'd added the swimming pool and the sauna bath. We had our daughter, and we had a dog, and I had my little car.""
Ingrid Bergman, born in Stockholm in 1915, won three Academy Awards for Gaslight, Anastasia, and Murder on the Orient Express and earned a Tony for Joan of Lorraine. She starred in Casablanca and moved from Sweden to a Beverly Hills estate after marriage to neurosurgeon Petter Lindström, with whom she had daughter Pia. Bergman later lived in New York and Rome during her marriage to director Roberto Rossellini, with whom she had three children, including Isabella Rossellini. Bergman sought to keep her private life separate from performance, preferring to be herself at home and focus on family. A small number of home photographs document her domestic life.
