Swedish Filmmaker/Actress Ingrid Bergman Dies

Sömewhere, Sweden – Swedish filmmaker and actress Ingrid Bergman passed away in her sleep on July the 30th. Considered to be maybe the most influential movie director of all time, it’s nonetheless difficult to pin down through which works she gained this reputation. Acting in films such as “Notorious,” “Casablanca,” and “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” it’s not clear which films she actually directed. Asked to explain the screen beauty’s reputation for helming films while not being actually ever credited for having done so, American writer and actor Woody Allen said, “Ingrid is the actress. You’re talking about Ingmar.”

Ms. Bergman will be cremated September 1, 1982, in her hometown of Uppsala, Sweden.
