Ingrid Bergman possessed the type of beauty that was matchless, unparalleled. This Oscar-winning actor had a thriving career in the 40's till the early 50's when Stromboli happened and the trajectory of her career took a beating. Things happen not as we want them to, but according to a pre-ordained scheme of things, over which we have little or no control. Ingrid had gone through a whirlwind of many different phases and weathered many storms with a roller-coaster of emotions. But she returned triumph to the USA with the film 'Anastasia' in 1956. Ingrid is no longer with us, but has left a legacy of her great films that are even enjoyed to this very day. All things come to an end, yet each ending is it's own beginning, while in others, sadness often comes from this perennial rhythm of nature. In an interview Ingrid once advised : "Be yourself, the world worships the original".
@@NashaDean Thank you so much. It's true too that I loved Ingrid for many years and still watch her films, particularly 'Stromboli' and Cactus Flower. She was a true inspiration for people around the world to find what they were looking for and to pursue it with a vengeance. She lived and learned and had no regrets about her decisions.
@ianedwards4400 yes! I too, absolutely adore her. She’s always been hugely inspirational to me. I admire her courage and her unwavering devotion to herself and to her craft. She was a remarkable human being, and I deeply regret not being alive at the same time as she was. I would have loved to have met her had I been born at another time.
@@NashaDean I was born in the early 50's, but my folks were huge movie-buffs. It is through them and the many DVD's that we possessed that I learnt in depth of her life and career. Ingrid is truly irreplaceable. She was very much a real human-being with no airs or false pride. To sum her up best as " A very down-to-earth respectable human being, despite her world-wide fame, glamour and wealth"
@ianedwards4400 wow that is such a wonderfully apt description! I love that! I’m an elder millennial (late 80s baby) but my grandparents were movie buffs, or rather my gramma was. And she raised me on the classics, a lot of which featured Ingrid. I remember the first time I ever saw her in Casablanca she literally took my breath away. I thought “wow! What a beautiful lady!” She immediately captivated me, and I wanted to see every film I could get my hands on. At the time, all that was available was gaslight, Casablanca and notorious. So of course those were the films I watched constantly. To this day, Notorious and Gaslight are my favorite films. Notorious is a comfort movie for me, I put it on when I’m cleaning or have a project I need to do. I’ve seen the film so many times, just listening to the audio as the movie plays in the background, I can see the film in my head. So I can concentrate on what I’m doing while enjoying the film at the same time and never having to look at the screen to know what’s going on. And even then, Ingrid’s beauty radiates. Her voice is like music. I really really love her.
