Ingrid Bergman (1915-1982) was perhaps best known for her roles in
Casablanca and Notorious, but she won three Oscars for Gaslight,
Anastasia, and Murder on the Orient Express, and was a seven-time
nominee. She also won two Emmy Awards and a Tony. In 1949, though
married and a mother, she fell in love with director Roberto Rossellini
and conceived a child with him. Her fans were shocked and she was
denounced on the floor of the U.S. Senate. Chandler interviewed Bergman,
Roberto Rossellini, Alfred Hitchcock, Martin Scorsese, Cary Grant,
Michelangelo Antonioni, Federico Fellini, and Gregory Peck for the book,
which contains synopses of all her films, including the Swedish ones.
