A young Ingrid Bergman (1915 - 1982) ca mid 1940s

Colorized with a lot of liberties, a few photos of a young Ingrid Bergman just starting out in Hollywood at around the time she made Intermezzo (1939), the award-winning classic Casablanca (1942) opposite Humphrey Bogart, her notable performances in For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943), and in Gaslight (1944)

Ingrid Bergman (1915 - 1982) Colorized 1940 photo

Always a pleasure colorizing Ingrid Bergman photos. Here's one from a photo taken in 1940, a year after completing Intermezzo where she emerged a star. The tall 5'9" Ingrid would film Die vier Gesellen (The Four Companions).in Germany as it started to plunge Europe into WWII. According to her biographer Charlotte Chandler (2007), Ingrid had initially looked at Nazis as a "temporary aberration, 'too foolish to be taken seriously'. She believed Germany would not start a war." Bergman felt that "the good people there would not permit it". In 1945, she and her first husband, Dr. Petter Aron Lindström, became US citizens.

The young Ingrid Bergman in her late teens.  Said to be a self-portrait photo using her father's camera.  Some of the original photos indicated she was just 14 here taken in 1934.  But she was born in 1915 so that would make her 19 years in 1934. 

Ingrid Bergman and daughter Isabella Rosellini in a 1962 photo

Mother and daughter of the 60s. Here's my colorized Ingrid Bergman (1915-1982) and her daughter Isabella Rosellini (1952-) at the via Condotti, Rome in 1962, Isabella was quite pretty but could only approach her mom as she matured, never really matching her mom's cinematic presence. On the other hand, Ingrid's regal poise never left her, one of the few who can really be said to have aged gracefully. Ingrid lasted 20 more years after this picture was taken. She lost her 7-year battle against cancer, the same year she won her Emmy and Golden Globe for her last role portraying Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meira in a TV miniseries "A Woman Called Golda," She died precisely on her 67th birthday August 29, 1982.

Ingrid Bergman (1915 - 1982) colorized & stylized by Alex Lim from a 1948 photo

One of my recent colorization efforts - another vintage celebrity - Ingrid Bergman (1915 - 1982) from a promo still in 1948. Famous for iconic roles in Casablanca and a few Hitchcock films. She's tagged as a natural beauty for not using make-up or even reshaping her eyebrows when first introduced to American movie moguls. A statuesque 5'9" she's not exactly an hour-glass with a modest 34-24-34 shape for someone so tall. She was among the tallest women in Hollywood during her time (Sigourney Weaver topped that in the 80s as a 6-footer.)
