Movie stars I loved as a kid - Ingrid Bergman
Ingrid Bergman (29 August 1915 – 29 August 1982):

She is best remembered for her role as Ilsa Lund in Casablanca (1942), a World War II spy drama co-starring Humphrey Bogart.

A few of her other starring roles besides Casablanca included the films For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943), Gaslight (1944), Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound (1945), Notorious (1946), and Under Capricorn (1949), and the independent production, Joan of Arc (1948).
In 1950, after a decade of stardom in American films, she starred in the Italian film Stromboli and had a love affair with director Roberto Rossellini while they were both already married. The affair created a scandal that forced her to return to Europe until 1956, when she made a successful Hollywood comeback in Anastasia for which she won her second Academy Award as well as the forgiveness of her fans.

When she was three years of age, her mother died. Her father, who was an artist and photographer, died when she was thirteen. After his death, she was then sent to live with an aunt, who died of heart complications only six months later. She then moved in with her aunt Hulda and uncle Otto, who had five children.

In 1949, Bergman met Italian director Roberto Rossellini in order to make the film Stromboli (1950), after having been a fan of two of his previous films that she had seen while in the United States. During the making of this movie, she fell in love with him and became pregnant with a son, Renato Roberto Giusto Giuseppe ("Robin") Rossellini (born 2 February 1950)
The pregnancy caused a huge scandal in the United States where it even led to Bergman being denounced on the floor of the U.S. Senate and Ed Sullivan chosing not to have her on his show, despite a poll indicating that the public wanted her to appear.
