Exceptional interview by Dan Callahan with Ingrid Bergman's three daughters -- Pia Lindstrom, Ingrid Rossellini, and Isabella Rossellini -- to mark the 100th anniversary of the legendary screen star's birth. When forced to pick, I cite Ingrid as my favorite actress of the Golden Age of Hollywood if for no other reason than she was undoubtedly the most beautiful.
“What’s extraordinary and unique about my mother is that she means something in so many different countries,” says Isabella. “Katharine Hepburn and Bette Davis, they mean something in America, mainly, but they didn’t have the European films. Mother means something in Sweden, in Italy, in France, in London, and in America. If you think of her, you think of her in all those different countries. She was once asked, ‘Where are your roots?’ And she said, ‘I don’t have any!’ Can you imagine?”

I had a long ago acting teacher who had been a young actress in NYC during World War II. One evening, she was leaving a nightclub and Ingrid Bergman walked in wearing a powder blue suit and escorted by two Army officers. She was the most beautiful woman, bar none, that my teacher ever saw in person.
