Do you have any information about Ingrid Bergman to share?
- Bergman and Humphrey Bogart were voted the second greatest on-screen couple of all time in a poll commissioned by British chain store Woolworths for their work in CASABLANCA (1942). (2005)
- Her greatest regret during her illustrious career was turning down the opportunity to appear in PLANET OF THE APES. (April 27, 2004)
- In addition to making quite a number of memorable movies, Bergman has the distinction of having inadvertently been one of the first Hollywood performers to help break down the studio contract system.
- Anthony Quinn had said about her: Sometimes in motion pictures you love someone so much, but it doesn't work on the screen. And you don't like somebody and you're wonderful on the screen. The two greatest talents I worked with were Ingrid and Anna Magnani. But I would prefer to work with Anna Magnani, whom I didn't like, than Ingrid, whom I loved.
- Attempts were made by Hollywood producers to change her name in 1939, with possibilities discussed such as Ingrid Berriman and Ingrid Lindstrom (actually her legal married name). Bergman refused, in part because she felt she had worked too hard to establish herself as an actress in Europe under her real name.
- Was named #4 on The Greatest Screen Legends actress list by the American Film Institute.
- When Ernest Hemingway told her she would have to cut off her hair for the role of Maria in For Whom the Bell Tolls, she shot back, To get that part, I'd cut my head off! She would rehearse tirelessly until any hour of the night, begging to repeat a scene long after the director was satisfied.
- High above Times Square in New York, stood an eight-storey-high figure of her in white plastic armour, (as part of the 1948's JOAN OF ARC), which had cost $75,000.
- Industrialist Howard Hughes once bought every available seat from New York to Los Angeles to be sure she would accept a ride in his private plane.
- Though Bergman was married to Dr. Peter Lindstrom and had a child be him, she fell in love with Rossellini, and had a baby by him. She became a pariah in America virtually overnight. She was even denounced on the floor of the U.S. Senate, where she was called Hollywood's apostle of degradation.
- Played Mrs. Frankweiler in FROM THE MIXED UP FILES OF MRS. BASIL E. FRANKWEILER (1973).
- A WOMAN CALLED GOLDA (1982) (TV) was her last film.
- The wheat scene in LOVE AND DEATH (1975) with towards the end of the film is a direct visual parody of her classic Persona (1966).
- Sergio Scaglietti, Ferrari's master coachbuilder and aluminum sculptor, shaped some the most beautiful Ferraris of the '50s and '60s, including the 375MM built in 1954 for her. That Ingrid car has, in turn, inspired the proportions of today's 612 Scaglietti, the largest Ferrari ever. (There's even a silver Ingrid paint option).
- She broke her foot at the beginning of the American run of The Constant Wife and played the next five weeks in a wheelchair.
