Ingrid Bergman was an Academy award winning Swedish actress best remembered for her roles in ‘Casablanca’ and ‘Notorious’. A much sought after star in Hollywood during the 1940s, she had been a successful actress in Swedish films before starring in American films. As an actress she was known for her punctuality and dedication towards her work. Unlike many of her contemporaries, Bergman was not known to wear much make-up or dress in expensive and elaborate attires. Born in Stockholm, Sweden, she had a very difficult childhood having lost both her parents when she was just a child. Even though shy as a youngster, she developed an interest in acting and enrolled at the Royal Dramatic Theater School to hone her acting skills. She excelled at the school and landed her first film role after just a year. She began her acting career as an extra and quickly graduated to more prominent roles. Eventually she caught the attention of Hollywood film producer David O. Selznick who was impressed by her acting skills and invited her to America. Thus she ventured into Hollywood and went on to have a highly successful career over the course of which she won three Academy Awards, two Emmy Awards, and four Golden Globe Awards.
