I had the good fortune to see this outstanding woman perform in two plays in London during the 70s. The Constant Wife Waters of The Moon She absolutely exhuded talent/ elegance and humanity. She could take your breath away.
Bergman ~ true independent filmmaker. She NEVER had a contract for very long. And no studios had control of her career ~ and what I have to say about that..... G O O D
@@montrealfilmguy , I miss the lack of meanness ! they were great shows , but different times , although he gave Martha Mitchell a lot of time and that was great !
This was filmed in 1981 per earlier comment. She passed away in 1982, at the age of 67. Gone too soon, but what a wonderful legacy of excellent movies and interviews. She lives on in her daughter, the beautiful actress Isabella Rossellini.
She was even more beautiful in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Arch Of Triumph. The movies not as great as Casablanca but she looked extra amazing in them.
Been watching these interviews after seeing Casablanca for the umpteenth time this past week. Her description of the chaotic process of making the film and Bogart's discontent expressed in a different interview leads me to believe this added to the fraught tension throughout the film. What would happen? Who would Ilsa Lund choose? Who would live? Who would die? Even though I know what happens on that tarmac, I'm still gripped watching till that Beau friendship begins!
She had always been and stayed a very natural Swedish woman, very down-to-earth, no Diva-attitudes at all. Such a gifted artist and a legendary screen beauty - and yet so calm, funny and kind. No fuzz about herself, never. If you compare her to those snobbish, arrogant "artists" of today (like akward Madonna or those Hipp-Hopp-Gangster-singers) - she is out of reach!
You're right, so natural and down-to-earth! I didn't realize she just Never cared much about make-up. I love that, because it's such a waste of time. She has a healthy self-acceptance.
the similarities with marilyn monroe and ingrid bergman are fascinating. both beautiful, both orphans who retreated into escapism during childhood, both intelligent, lonely, and wanting stardom... and both had issues with intimacy and love. then both became iconic celebrities who were rocked by scandals and a consummate scrutiny by the media, and both were adored by the public as well.
tomitstube the big differences are Ingrid said NO to many things like no changing eyebrows, no changing teeth and was RESPECTED, also she got THREE😳oscars, KIDS (4) to love and to be loved, and she ALWAYS was being accepted !!!! Poor Marilyn got NOTHING of it and became one of the 3 most lucrative PRODUCTS after death, along with Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson resting bones in the cemetery🙄
Wow, I never thought of those two - Marilyn and Ingrid - as similar at all! One is so objectified, the other so strong and natural. But you have good points there.
She was so great here to admit and acknowledge that she shouldn't have won for Murder On The Orient Express! Bravo! (she was fine, but it didn't deserve an Academy Award)
So darling and beautiful. She is my ideal woman but then you have human condition when we all get old and older and then die. I wish we were never born and die because this stupid cycle of life is really unsouring.
Wow!! She' perfect and I love her so much. I had the same opinion though about Murder on the Orient Express. She's good in it, but got an oscar for that was too much.
Levia Asriana .... yes, Bergman had one great scene in murder on the Orient express. But it’s a scene that I have never forgotten and Judi Dench received a supporting Oscar for eight minutes of work and I’ve never seen that movie, Shakespeare in Live, and I don’t intend to. But that scene with Ingrid Bergman in Orient express, wow.
it's plain to see why she was a movie star. i don't know anything about her personally, but on camera she really shows a very appealing charming personality.
She is wrong about Olivia de Havilland winning an Oscar for "The Snake Pit", however. As good as Olivia was, she didn't win that year. But she did win Oscars for two films in the '40s, "To Each His Own", and "The Heiress".
I think she meant to say Olivia de Havilland was NOMINATED for an oscar for "The Snake Pit" It's understandable when being interviewed about your past life to make an honest mistake. Olivia de Havilland is my favorite actress and her performance in "The Heiress" is breathtaking. Loved it.
18th December 1980. ...Had she settled that "Höstsonaten" never happened?? She had been nominted for an Oscar (leading actress) one year ago! Oh well, it wasn't that bad. LOL ;)
RIP to the Iconic Legendary late great Incomparable 🌟{Ingrid Bergman}🌟 🎬(1917-1983)🎬 Extraordinary actress and wonderful lady. The mother of the legendary actress (Isabella Rossellini)
Wow - I can only imagine what kind of luxury it must have been to be beautiful without makeup. Just brushing your eyebrows and a little lipstick. I would love to know how that feels but I'm a redhead with a ruddy complexion with freckles and now a few fine lines. You can't see my features unless I'm wearing makeup. My eyebrows, eyelashes are paler than blonde and the ruddy complexion makes my lips and cheeks undistinguished from the whole of my face. So, thank God for makeup. It has been a passport of sorts for me. People say I'm very pretty when I'm wearing it and yet I've had a few not recognize me when they've shown up at my house unexpected or they see me when I'm sick. So back to Ingrid Bergman. I bet she only spent 30 seconds when putting on lipstick for a date. I wonder how much time she had compared to women who put on makeup. I spend 20 minutes every morning and 5 - 10 minutes at lunch M - F reapplying because it melted off. I'm 57 - that 41 years x 25 minutes a day. If I've done my math right - I've spent 260 days of my life putting on makeup.
In fairness though, also from his non-reaction at that point, he might know very well, she's presenting her autobiography, this is pre-internet and basically VHS (well, "Betamax" actually), so Bergman's a generation who never promoted any movie in TV-shows, let alone analysed their childhood there, I'd guess the audience doesn't know.
Oh how hypocritical Hollywood treated Ingrid when she insisted on keeping her twins when numerous Actresses were aborting their babies for trivial reasons, thank God for Cary Grant who stood up for Ingrid a beautiful Actress!
Again, Ingrid Bergman with her myth of "we didn't have a script". Curtiz was shooting in sequence, and Bergman was, for whatever reason, kept in the dark. The script was ready and complete, from the first take of the first shot. All that was missing was the very ending, after the plane leaves, with the "round up the usual suspects" line. But Bergman would tell anyone, anytime that there wasn't a complete script. Total myth. But I still love her.
豬圈人, Your comments are so thoughtless and naive. Unless you die early of illness, accident, or nuclear war (which is becoming more likely every year), then YOU will get old! Did you expect that Ms. Bergman had eternal life???!
