Ingrid Bergman

I think Ingrid was the Madhubala of western movies- lovely in black and white! But I came across a book written by her PR agent in Hollywood, and her early years were spent motherless, fatherless, and thinking she was no good- at least socially, and in many other ways. Nobody wanted to date her, and she still survived-and how! She also came across as a very normal, unstarry person after she became famous, which is almost impossible to imagine these days- maybe even those days. At the height of her career in Hollywood she did a long stint on Broadway, because she wanted to play Joan of Arc-it was her dream.

Though I have seen only two movies of hers- Casablanca and one of Ingmar Bergman's, I think..I am a big fan..plan to see some more of her films if I can get hold of them.
