Three time Academy Award® winner Ingrid Bergman(1915-1982) was one of the top Hollywood stars in the 1940s. Bergman was born in Stockholm, Sweden and began appearing in Swedish films as early as 1932. She would appear in 11 movies made in Sweden before she was noticed by American producer David O. Selznick. Selznick signed her to a one picture deal and brought to the United States(he did the same with Hitchcock around this time as well). Bergman could not speak any English at all when she arrived to film the movie, 1939's Intermezzo: A Love Story, and figured she would rejoin her husband and daughter back in Sweden when Intermezzo was done filming. She got that one wrong. Instead Bergman became known as "Sweden's illustrious gift to Hollywood."

Bergman's career was like a roller coaster. Many ups, downs, twists and turns over a forty year career. The 1940s were the peak of her career as she appeared in classic movie after classic movie....including winning her first Oscar® for 1944's Gaslight. While filming the 1950 movie Stromboli, the still-married Bergman, gave birth to Roberto Rossellini's(director of Stromboli) child. The scandal caused her to leave America and retreat back to Europe. The next 6 years, her movies were not well received and she was considered box office poison. She rebounded with her Oscar® winning performance in 1956's Anastasia. The rest of the 1950s, Bergman was back in successfully movies. From 1960 until 1978 she would only appear in 9 more movies. The highlights of the later part of her career were winning her third Oscar® for 1974's Murder on the Orient Express and her Oscar® nominated performance in 1978's Autumn Sonata. Autumn Sonata would turn out to be her last performance. Ingrid Bergman passed away in 1982 following complications from a breast cancer operation.

According to IMDB, Ingrid Bergman has 53 acting credits in her career. This hub will only look at 32 of her movies. Her 13 Swedish movies, her one cameo and her 7 television show appearances did not make the hub. This hub will rank her 32 movies according to box office grosses, critical and public reception and by Movie Score.

Possibly interesting information.

1. Ingrid Bergman got to play the character, Anita Hoffman, twice in the movies. The first time was in the 1936 Swedish film Intermezzo. When super producer David O. Selznick saw the movie he bought the rights to the movie and Bergman's services to play the same role in 1939's Intermezzo: A Love Story.

2. Ingrid Bergman was nominated 7 times for an Oscar® for her movie roles. She won three times. She was also nominated 7 times for the Golden Globe® awards.....she won that award three times as well.

3. According to the American Film Institute, Ingrid Bergman is the 4th greatest female star of all-time.

4. Ingrid Bergman starred in three Alfred Hitchcock movies....two of them are classics...1945's Spellbound and 1946's Notorious.....and one of them is easily forgotten....1949's Under Capricorn....sorry Flora and Steve.

5. Ingrid Bergman was married twice in her life. Her first marriage was to Petter Lindström in 1937. Their marriage lasted until 1949 and they had one daughter, Pia. In 1950 she married director Roberto Rossellini. They had one son, Renato and twin daughters Isabella and Isotta. Isabella has been in such movies as Death Becomes Her and Blue Velvet.

6. Roles Ingrid Bergman turned down or was seriously considered for ...An Affair To Remember, The Miracle Worker, Interiors, The Paradine Case, Planet of the Apes and Spartacus.

7. During her scandal in the early 1950s....Cary Grant was one of the few people to stand up for Bergman during the scandal. When she won her second Oscar® for 1956's Anastasia ....she asked Grant to accept the honor for her.

8. Casablanca is probably her most famous role. Casablanca is ranked #2 of all movies made according to the American Film Institute(AFI). Six of the quotes in Casablanca are ranked in the Top 10 of movie quotes...also according to AFI. My favorite is "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship"...what a way to end a movie.

9. It took Ingrid Bergman and director Ingmar Bergman almost 40 years to work together...but the two Swedish legends finally made 1978's Autumn Sonata. Bergman received her final Oscar® nomination for the role.

10. Ingrid Bergman is the 68th actor/actress to receive a Cogerson career review hub page. My Greatest Actors/Actress Table has two separate tables....the first table ranks the 68 actors using all of their movies. Ingrid Bergman comes in at #7 on that table one spot behind of #6 Spencer Tracy. The second table only looks at the actor's Top Ten Movie Score Movies. On that table Ingrid Bergman comes in at #9....just behind #8 James Stewart and just ahead of #10 Gregory Peck.

Note: I know all about Under Capricorn not working despite the great cast. I have yet to see it and it is the only Hitch film during the time he started in Hollywood until the end of his career that I have not seen. the few that I'm missing are British titles. Since it doesn't seem to be carried by TCM in Canada and I refuse to buy it just to say I have seen it, I will likely never see this movie. Bergman and Cotten. Too bad.

She was right to turn down The Paradine Case. Selznick really interfered in that film and made it too wordy and boring. I own it because the Hitch/Selznick films are in a box set, and I saw it for Peck, but really I often forget it exists.

Regarding Casablanca. She never understood why people considered it one of the best films of all time or why no one ever asked her about other films. She thought it was good, but hardly a classic.

Well, back to the list of films in terms of what I have and have not seen of her Hollywood films.

I have seen 8 of her top 10 box office hits, 9 of her top 10 critic picks, and 8 of her top ten movie score hits.

The films I have *not* seen of these lists in Movie Score Order:

For Whom the Bell Tolled

Saratoga Trunk

The highest on the list I've seen is number 1: Gaslight The lowest on this list I've seen is 27: Rage in Heaven.

I have seen a total of 16 of her Hollywood movies, exactly 50%.

I *cannot* tell you a favourite movie. I cannot choose one or even order any of the top 5 films I've seen in preference.

My 5 favourite films of hers in alphabetical order only:

Casablanca

Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde

Gaslight

Murder on the Orient Express

Notorious

The reason why Spellbound doesn't make this list despite my lovin gthe film is because she made too many great films, plus as a psych major I find any sort of psychoanalysis in films makes me remember how, actually, if you ask psychologists today, they don't hold Freud in such high regard anymore. It seems Anna O did a lot of her own psychoanalysis and he took credit for it as her doctor, etc. These thoughts come to my mind and interfere with such themed movies.

The complete list of films I've seen in movie Order is:

Gaslight

The Bells of St. Mary's

Casablanca

Murder on the Orient Express

Spellbound-I can't believe this is higher than notorious

Notorious

Anastasia

Joan of Arc

Cactus Flower

The Inn of the sixth Happiness

Indiscreet

Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde

Intermezzo: A love Story

The Yellow Rolls Royce

Adam Had Four Sons

Rage in Heaven

by the way, I have seen the tv movie Golda, as well. I know it wasn't incuded. but as she was dying while she was making it, I thought I would mention this.

"Play it Sam, play... As Time Goes By" (wipes tear)

A Hollywood legend, excellent work Cogerson. Flora has seen more of her films than I have. From your list I've only seen 11. Thought I'd seen a lot more.

Needless to say I agree with the critics score, Casablanca being one of my top 20 favourite films and my favourite film of the 1940's.

Notorious is one of my favourite Hitchcock films, I like Spellbound too. Under Capricorn isn't a favourite.

Jekyll and Hyde is another top film, watched it again recently.

I have to confess to not seeing The Belles of St. Mary's one of her most popular films. I think she won an Oscar for it, Cogerson?

Voted Up and Interesting.

btw I voted for Billy. :)

Wow looking at her list of movies, I have only seen Casablanca and that was years ago at college. But I did find the story of her scandal fascinating. I googled it to get the rest of the story. I have never heard about a star having to leave the country because of an affair. Granted I sure that scandal might have made it hard to play wholesome women parts but back then. Nowadays the baby would be a celebrity. Nice hub.

BERN1960 Level 2 Commenter 8 months ago

I thought she made more movies than she did. I enjoyed Gaslight (it was on TV recently), Notorious and of course Casablanca were very good movies. I remember as a kid when she got pregnant but not her husband's child-it was quite a scandal then. Good work Cogerson - always enjoy your HUBS....still waiting on William Holden.

ruffridyer Level 4 Commenter 8 months ago

I seen Joan of Ark, Gaslight and Casablanca. Great movies all. Angela Lansbury of Murder she Wrote fame played such a sexy role in Gaslight as a naughty maid!

I enjoyed Casablanca. The way people became more noble in it. At least that is the message I got from it.

I would like to see Joan again. It has been years since I watched it.

The public was so judgemental then. Now actress climb out of limos missing important clothing just to get on utube.

Hey Flora....let's see you have seen 16 of her movies....Steve is at 11....and I am trailing at 10. I have seen 7 of her top 10 box office hits, 8 of her top 10 critic picks, and 7 of her top ten movie score hits.

Saratoga Trunk with Gary Cooper is a movie I was not aware before I started doing this hubs....but the more hubs I do...the more I see this movie popping up in my research....it was a huge hit(her 3rd biggest hit)...I have no idea what it is about...but it is beginning to interest me...although I did not think For Whom The Bell Tolls was a great movie(their first movie together).

Although I have never seen Under Capricorn either, finding any positive words for that movie is very very hard...it is right near the bottom if you sort by critic/audience score...so I do not think you are missing much.

And finally I like your Top 5 with the exception of Dr. Jekyll....I would move Indiscreet to my Top 5 instead...if only because her and Grant were such a great screen couple. As always your comments and views are greatly appreciated.

Hey SteveLensman....looks like both of us old guys are trailing the young lady in classic movie watching...and not even close this time.

Well Casablanca does well on the charts....5th in box office, 1st in critics/audience score....and 3rd in Movie Score....if she would have been nominated for Casablanca that would have been her number one movie...I never could figure why she got ignored at Oscar time. I am only explaining this in case you were banging on the computer when you saw Casablanca was 3rd in Movie Score.

Bergman got nominated for Bells of St. Marys but did not win....she won for Gaslight, Anastasia, and Murder on the Orient Express.

Thanks for taking the poll....and your vote has been counted. Billy is coming soon. Thanks for the comments.

Hey Shaun you might have only seen one of her movies...but you have picked not only her best movie, but one of the best movies of all-time as well. As for her scandal...a different time and a different place. The wholesome image she had went right out the window....if you look at her awesome box office numbers from the 1940s....you see she never got back her queen of the box office status ever again. Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Bern1960....Gaslight is a classic....Charles Boyer is awesome as the evil husband.

Thanks for the compliment.

Hey ruffridyer....Joan of Arc is one of the ones I need to see....they spent a ton of money producing the movie....she got an Oscar nomination for her role...everytime I do a hub one or two movies make to my "Movies to watch list"...in this case it was Joan of Arc.

Angela Lansbury was indeed sexy in Gaslight...I am impressed that 56 years later and she is still going strong.

In our current society...the more trouble an actress gets in...the more famous we make her....how else can somebody explain why Lindsay Lohan is such a celebrity. Thanks for the comments.

Hey KellyE...her scandal probably would not get too much attention currently....unless she had left one star for another star....like Brad Pitt did...but no way would she have to leave the country like Bergman did. Thanks for stopping by.

A great star, extremely talented. I'd put her in the top actresses of all time category (Along with Kate Hepburn, Bette Davis and Merryl Sreep). And she was beautiful, too.

Did you know that her last role was in a made-for-TV film called "A Woman Called Golda", (1982) where she played Golda Meir. It was released the same year she died. She won an emmy for best actress in a TV movie, but sadly she passed away 3 weeks before the ceremony. Her daughter Pia Lindstrom accepted her postumous trophy.

My favorite film of hers is "Casablanca", which I've seen a zillion times. An interesting fact is that she didn't know how the film was going to end while she was shooting it and she didn't know if her character Ilsa was in love with Rick or with Victor. Her confusion actually added to her character's on-screen ambiguity about who she wanted to be with.

Great actress. Great hub.

Hi, Cogerson - I loved reading this hub about the beautiful and talented Ingrid Bergman. I don't think I have ever seen Anastasia and boy do I want to now. Funny, my son's girlfriend has often been compared to Ingrid and we have Ingrid "staring" as our girl in the fake "Story of Our Lives" in which we suggest actors who would play us in a phony bio pic. Haha. Our girl becomes so annoyed at the suggestion. Why? To be compared to the lovely Ingrid is a great compliment.

Suggestion for hub #100-do you have a favourite actor or actress you haven't already done? I think for #100 the name should be one you have seen more than 50% of the films.

Hey Rob....thanks for the comments. I think a Mount Rushmore of Actresses with Hepburn, Streep, Bergman, and Davis as the faces would be very acceptable.

Golda is one of the best tv movies ever made, it was a shame she was not able to pick up her Emmy award.

Casablanca is a classic, hard to believe they(the people behind the scenes) were making it up as they went along...to quote Indiana Jones....as always thanks for stopping by.

Hey Dolores, I agree 100% Bergman was a very beautiful actress...and your son is lucky to be dating someone that looks like her...some guys have all the luck. Anastasia is a great classic movie....Bergman is awesome, as well as Helen Hayes as the Queen and Yul Brynner as somewhat of a con man. Thanks for the comments.

Hey Flora....I have started thinking about my 100th hub about 10 hubs ago.....as for actors....my favorite current actor is Bruce Willis...and I have seen everything he has been....and my favorite classic actor is Cary Grant...and I have seen 61 of his 79 movies....but they were one of the first ones I did oh so many months ago. I know #98 will the Best Picture Oscar Winners 1927-2010....and then #99 will be William Holden....and then we get to #100.

One of things I am leaning towards is a non-movie hub(I know... gasp.... not a movie hub)...and instead share some of the great things that have happened to me since I started this hobby almost 9 months ago. I have enjoyed Phil Plasma's hubs that talk about his hub page experience...so I figured I might copy his approach. Thanks for the suggestions....they are greatly appreciated.

Hey YankeesRule....well the two movies you have seen are quality classic movies....I would say the next one to watch would be Notorious....it co-stars Cary Grant...and was directed by the master Alfred Hitchcock...thanks for the compliment.

@Cogerson...I'm always surprised at the star's top box office hit -- "For Whom the Bell Tolls" for Ingrid. I would have thought "Casablanca", or "Notorious".

I know critics thought she was woefully miscast in "Cactus Flower", but I loved her in that part, and thought she got everything just perfect with Walter Matthau.

Love this stuff!

Hey Barbsbitsnpieces....Casablanca gained its fame and box office as the years went along(or should I say As Time Goes By)...while Notorious was hit it was small compared to her big box office hits....For Whom The Bell Tolls and The Bells of St. Marys.....actually both of these movies stayed in the Variety's Top 20 of all time until the late 1950s.

As for Cactus Flower, I agree I enjoyed her part much better than Goldie Hawn's part....and Goldie won the Oscar for her part....thanks for the compliment and the comment.
