[@pachecodecastro2593]

My husband’s aunt was Roberto Rossellini’s first wife, Marcella de Marchis Rossellini. After their divorce, Rossellini married Bergman but kept a close and friendly relationship with his ex-wife, with whom he had two children. Bergman’s children spent a lot of time with their half siblings under the care of my husband’s aunt. She apparently loved those kids as her own. Ingrid was not the motherly kind but her children were brought up in a loving environment. There are tons of stories about Isabella, Renzo, Romano, my husband and his sisters, a big extended Italian family.

[@MaryamBraisby-hn9lo]

Thankyou for this She was a beauty with talent No one should knock that She was lucky to have such a lovely family from your side of the 'coin'

[@pachecodecastro2593]

@@MaryamBraisby-hn9lo trust me, this is the truth, as recounted by my husband, as a child in Italy, his siblings and cousins. Bergman’s children were not abandoned, had a happy upbringing and childhood. I am really upset at the double standard: Millions of children live with their mothers and are not deemed abandoned by their fathers. In this case, the couple decided their kids would have a more stable and structured future if they remained with their father. Rossellini was a true family man. Isabella gave an interview a few years ago in which she recalled that, when her father died, many family members had to look for jobs. He employed and supported them a lot. Bergman was a great woman and should not be talked down.

[@ingeabrahamsen4684]

​@@BlackStump172I agree, and I personally think the effect a voice has on a persons attraction and appeal is sadly underrated. Especially nowadays, when women seem to have forgotten that it's not just about big breasts and puffy lips. Just think about how the voice of women like Garbo, Monroe, Bacall, Swanson and Ann-Margrets seductive voices added to their personality. Unfortunately I don't think Ingrid Bergmans voice was as pleasent, as she grew older. And her daughter Isabella has almost an identical voice.

[@JustMe-uu3bh]

@@ingeabrahamsen4684 maybe? it had to do with her smoking? that can alter a person' voice. she didn't take care of her health but so many didn't and smoking was in fact encouraged in those days......

[@ingeabrahamsen4684]

Yes smoking could well have something to do with it. But I have another theory as well. I think women of her generation, when they went into menopause was offered hormones. Which also kept them looking more youthful. It however deepened their voices as well. What wasen't known (until later) was that it was also causing breastcancer. And I could imagine that women in the filmindustri then, were more inclined to use hormones. Have you heard the voice of Lucille Ball?

Her children whom she remained close to over the latter years were close to her and have publicly spoken of their love for her, understanding her need to be a great actress! Nobody is perfect! "To err is human, to forgive divine"! Unfortunately, she had a major nicotene addiction i.e. smoking cigarettes which we now know can cause breast and lung cancer as well as other cancers! Her co-star the late great Yul Brynner was also a nicotene addict along with the late greats Rosalind Russell, Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy Onassis, chain smokers who all died in their 60s from cancers!

She was an independent lady.

[@louise_rose]

@@BrendaKDavis-cz7fc Oh yes...Her break with Hollywood over the possessive claims of the media on her,, when she teamed up with Rossellini - she was branded as "living in sin" and a traitor to America, which seems ridiculous now - both the personal and artistic partnership with Rosselllini and the move to Italy took a lot of courage, and showed her independent mindset. It took several years for Hollywood to reconnect with her. When she was about to travel back to do "Anastasia", her comeback film in the US, she recalls in her memoir how Ernest Hemingway came up to see her at her hotel. She knew him from the 1940s, and she was one of his "elective daughters". In a very moving scene in the memoir, she recalls how he told her, at the hotel, that he would follow her to New York and protect her if the journalists were difficult when she met them there - she knew it would be a busy occasion and that she would land in the news. She amicably declined: "That's very kind, Ernest, but I'll have to face them on my own... or they won't take *my* answers for good".. She was right, of course (and the return to New York went without major trouble). 💗

[@lindarichter1068]

I have to wonder how much to believe of the comments by her first husband. I saw an interview with Ingrid's adult children where they said they adored her. Pia Lindstrom said this also. That rather than being broken by her being away from them, they were more excited for whenever she was around because they just "wanted more of her" as she was so delightful to have around. I have always been fond of her and her movies. I have no doubt she was a driven personality in her career and had her faults. Her acting was not one of them. I think it is hard for actors not to fall in love with the people they are in films with. Kudos to those who can resist it. I was curious the video did not mention her latter film with Liv Ullmann "Autumn Sonata" or her role as Gold Meira. At that time she was not so glamorous but still very handsome; they were also great roles. I believe she died just shortly after filming her role in "A Woman Called Gold" for television. I believe she hid her cancer from those around her

[@pachecodecastro2593]

You are absolutely right. I guess we saw the same interview.. my husband grew up with Isabella and her twin sister, along with Rossellini’s other children. They are cousins. They were normal, happy kids who often saw and visited their mother, enjoyed unforgettable vacation time at Santa Severa and had a very structured life.

[@alidabaxter5849]

I actually saw her in the hairdressers in London shortly after she had returned following completion of the film role of Golda Meir. One of her arms was dreadfully swollen, due to the progress of the cancer, but she was so stoic that she had that arm strung up so the swelling would diminish before filming every day. She was only months from death and wore not a trace of make up but she was still strikingly lovely. Years before, as the narration states, she hadn't done any filming for 2 years in order to be with her daughter Isabella while she was treated for a curvature if the spine. She was absolutely unique, loved by her children, and a brilliant actress. I hate the tendency to throw vile comments at people now dead who achieved so much in their lives and I will always remember her as a brilliant actress.

[@LJ-ht4zs]

I recently saw a documentary on Ingrid Bergman - she was first married to a man and had a daughter by him, left her husband and her daughter with him - because he insisted on that. 2nd marriage to Rosellini (sp?) had 3 children by him and when they divorced left to marry husband #3, she left her children with Rosellini. If that is true -- different from my first feeling that her first child was kept from her; but the next 3 children, seems not to be the case. Seems like she was not a very caring mother but a great actress. Also, to a degree I don't care if actors and actresses have affairs, but I care how they treated their children (Bing Crosby - 2 of his boys committed suicide, alleged brutal treatment from their father as children) Barbara Stanwyck adopted one son, and when her marriage did not work out, she totally ignored him and tried to give him back to an agency. He was devastated. She never saw him or spoke to him again; and when she died, left him nothing. Liz Taylor stole her best friend's husband (Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher had at least 2 children; his reputation went down; her rep went up - she could get any man she wanted) Then she met Richard Burton, she dumped Fisher and Burton left his wife and 3 children. Both Burton and Taylor ended up being alcoholics and Taylor, addicted to drugs). When anyone is so unfeelingful or brutal towards their children - yuck!

No, she did not abandon her daughter. Her husband won full custody because of her affair, and he refused to allow her to see their daughter.

I don’t know why people expect beautiful actresses to live like nuns. These are human beings, flesh and blood, and subject to the same drives and desires that possess everyone. The only difference is they have much more opportunity because of their financial resources and fame.

Now they can sleep around all the want because progress. If anybody questions this, we'll pretend that men do the same thing, even though in reality it's only a tiny minority of men that are even able to do this, while women of below average attractiveness enjoy a level of social and sexual opportunity that a man would literally have to be wealthy and famous to have. When somebody insists on this point, we'll just blubber about "jealousy," as if this difference doesn't explain the very double standard people like you endlessly complain about in the first place.

[@Curlyblonde]

She and her narcissistic lifestyle fit in perfectly with what other actors and actresses were doing both on and off screen in Hollywood during the Golden Era. She was just more open about it than the others were. If she wasn't a foreign national living in the US, iher affairs would have been kept quiet by the Studios and their fixers.

[@msladybugbubbles]

Not just then, they still are!

[@Lyrielonwind]

Not that there were no male actors who were narcissistic as well.

[@JustMe-uu3bh]

she wasn't a narcissist - she merely did what Europeans did at that time although not everyone was in the public eye. you marry for status and then have a lover, it was pretty much the thing, so how is that being a "narcissist"? people like to point fingers while doing the same thing themselves. she may have made her mistakes *we all do, but her affairs weren't covered up like in the US, "fixers" did that, even Rock Hudson "had to marry a company secretary" to make it seem he was straight, and lots of others things. she wasn't so different but no one controlled her via contract like they did here. I'm not saying she was "right" but she did live her life as she saw fit but who doesn't?

[@TheNester.]

@JustMe-uu3bh Yes, you're right on 🎯 The studio owners controlled the stars' lives. They made the stars sign a "Morality Clause" along with their contract. The studio heads made 💵 the police go away, same with an untimely 🩺 pregnancy. They forced Lavender marriages to cover 💑 👩‍❤️‍👩 homosexuality. Even covered up adulterous affairs, suspected murder, alcoholic and drug addictions and looked the other way when male stars were "involved" with an underage girl because the studio owners were doing the same Damn thing! Warner, Mayer, & Goldwyn look them up, you'll be disgusted with them.

I first saw Ingrid Bergman with Leslie Howard in Intermezzo. Loved the movie, loved her and adored Leslie Howard. Apparently my mother did too, she named me Leslie after him. When I was under 6 and walking in the street with my older cousin in the Bronx, a man looked and said and what's your name? I said, Leslie, he replied that's a boy's name. I stamped my foot, saying I am girl. Actually, it wasn't till years later I came across a girl who was named Leslie - Leslie Caron, the French actress. I sure loved Leslie Howard though, thinking when I saw "Gone With The Wind" I also was so attracted to Ashley not Rhett Butler. He seemed to be the most loving, wonderful gentleman. When older, learned he also was a man who had many affairs - alas the way of Hollywood for men and women. B/t/w mother's second choice of a name for me was Ashley. Leslie Ashley sounds good.

[@ingeabrahamsen4684]

I dont know if you're aware of this, but Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall also named their daughter Leslie, in honor of their friend Leslie Howard. 😉

[@maureenball6733]

When I first heard decades ago that she had walked away from her children (without the full story behind it) my first thought was "Good on you, girl". It was such a refreshing take on any woman's life. I know it must have caused pain to each child as she moved on, but if she ensured they were financially well supported by her and their fathers, they probably managed a good life. No-one will cast much of a shadow over her in my eyes. I'd like to hear what those children could tell us. She lost her parents too early which must have affected her.

[@rosinesauvage7275]

They actually loved her, including Pia, whose father went to court to make sure that Pia’s mom, Ingrid Bergman, would be barred to see her daughter. But he still used Ingrid’s money to raise Pia.

[@Susiesdarling]

I agree that losing her parents at a young age had to have had an effect on her. It seems her first 2 husbands provided good care for the children. How nice it was to hear that Ingrid stayed home for 2 years with Isabella following her surgery.

She's okay. She and her mother reconciled decades ago. Life Magazine did a feature article on their reunion when Pia was a young woman and visited Ingrid.

You need a burning ambition to make it to the top in Hollywood, this cannot be held against her. Her children in a recent documentary clearly stated they hold no grudge against her, on the contrary. They wished they had had more of her, because she was such fun to be with. She was a very courageous woman with a luminous sort of beauty that inspired love. What her love life was like, is none of our business. Can you define a 'scandalous' affair? She asked Petter for a divorce but he flatly refused (greedy for her money...), so what do you do, stay on in a very unhappy marriage and as you rather vulgarly put it 'get your kicks elsewhere'?

These men she had affairs with were married too. How come they didn't suffer the wrath of an indignant public? Because she was a mother and mothers are supposed to be saints? TBH, I don't think her children think ill of her. I think she tried to do the best she could, because though it's true that actors and actresses most times put their careers before their children, that is also true of many other professions. She also lived at a time when it was expected for people to have children after marriage, regardless of whether it was a good thing or not. Katherine Hepburn's decision not to have children was not a very common one.

[@pachecodecastro2593]

I would have been devastated if my mother left me - and I wouldn't care how brilliant she was as an actress or how much money she made. Also in her 2nd marriage, the Italian Director Roberto Rosellini also had done well financially - when Ingrid left him he had four children - 2 by Ingrid and 2 his 1st wife, whom he left for Ingrid. However I read that all of the four children were close and apparently he and Ingrid were close to the 1st wife. I guess in Italy things are more open and more forgiving.
