She reached the top and was the queen of Hollywood. She had 5 films nominated for BP Oscar in three years, won an Oscar and many nominations. She wanted to do something different. Even if her films with Rossellini was not commercially successful at that time, they are now highly regarded in th cinephile circles. Journey to Italy is considered the first modern film and was a major influence of the French new wave and Antonioni. Bazan; Godard, Truffaut, Rohmer, Scorsese all considered it a major masterpiece of world cinema and was ranked high in the 2012 Sight and Sound poll.<br /><br />So in the end Ingrid had the truly classics like Casablanca and Notorious, and as well as a series of films considered to be pioneer of modern cinema. She was the only genuine Hollywood superstar who is also a truly international star and a great actress. And she has worked with Hitch, Cukor, Renoir, Lumet, Bergman and of course Rosselini, really some of the best directors of the last century. She had three oscars two Emmys four Golden Globes along with many major critics awards. She is truly a legend and a remarkable woman.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17586896626699263330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-76060066388408613392016-05-17T19:23:22.843-04:002016-05-17T19:23:22.843-04:00That was a big scandal.

I think one major reason is that Hollywood was totally shocked that their biggest and most bankable star just totally abandoned Hollywood for a foreign director and went to live in Italy. Ingrid starred in the #1 and 6 box office hit in 1943 and the #1, 2 and 6 in 1945. She had tens of millions of fans all over the world. She was one of the very few actresses who were adored by the public, liked by her peers and respected by the usually fickle film critics. Hollywood thought hey we gave you the career and now you turned your back totally to us?Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17586896626699263330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-25764600673587932202014-05-24T10:30:40.401-04:002014-05-24T10:30:40.401-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07831272839124192590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-11720545755554291542013-02-21T06:04:50.157-05:002013-02-21T06:04:50.157-05:00shadwosand satin - isn't it amazing that some ...shadwosand satin - isn't it amazing that some stars (Loretta Young, Rita Hayworth, etc.)either were ignored or just written about, but Ingrid really had to pay such a high price.FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-87476469294230888282013-02-21T06:03:09.525-05:002013-02-21T06:03:09.525-05:00Dawn - if Hedda Hopper was around today she would ...Dawn - if Hedda Hopper was around today she would be writing about so much bad behavior she wouldn't have time to breathe!FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-56453089001723409882013-02-20T23:17:05.435-05:002013-02-20T23:17:05.435-05:00This was a great post - and I am so glad to finall...This was a great post - and I am so glad to finally read about this whole thing. I vaguely knew about Ingrid's -- shall we say -- indiscretions, but your post sheds light on the whole affair (no pun intended). It's amazing that she was vilified -- I think about people like Loretta Young -- I guess as long as you keep your stuff undercover, it's okay. (No disrespect to Loretta.)

And then, there's always the phenomenon of audiences who confuse the role with the person. <br /><br />I have to say I never thought all the marriage break-ups and infidelities were romantic at all, except when I was 13 and didn't know anything. However, I think the word evil is really overstating it! Lust and selfishness are more apropos. Actors are people, and nobody likes to remember that, especially back then.

When I read about Ingrid Bergman and similar scandals in Hollywood, it's sometimes hard to decide whether to laugh or cry when a reputation is shredded, or perhaps we should simply laugh at the hypocrisy of these scandals. I bet for every Hollywood scandal we film buffs hear about, there are plenty more that are hushed-up better! Talk about a tempest in a teapot! I wonder if sisters Isabella Rossellini and Pia Lindstrom, now famous for their acting and newscasting, sit around and laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.DorianTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357778472575080022noreply@blogger.com
