Ingrid Bergman was born in Stockholm, Sweden to a father who owned a photography shop and a German mother.  During her formative years she became orphaned and was passed on to an array of relatives due to death eventually ending her teenage years with an uncle.  She made her professional stage debut after attending the Royal Dramatic Theater School in Stockholm.  She is remembered most for her bad marriage choices and indiscretions and even her banning from America in the face of scandal.  However:  Her storybook success as an actress where she never gave a bad performance nor made a bad movie is her legacy.  The movie ” Bells of St Mary’s” where she was nominated for an Oscar playing the part of a Mother Superior has become an American classic.
