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)

Loretta Young, photo colorized by Alex Lim

Colorized a vintage photo of Hollywood actress and 1947 Oscar best actress winner Loretta Young (1913 - 2000) for her role in The Farmer's Daughter. She may well be best known for having fathered Clark Gable's daughter, Judith Lewis Young.  The two had affair as romantic leads of the 1935 Call of the Wild.  Young was a beautiful siren at 22 and Gable was already a dashing screen idol at 34 already married to another woman (Maria Langham). 

The affair and the resulting love child was kept under raps as Loretta did not want to damage her career or Gable's. Twentieth Century Pictures learned about the pregnancy and pressured her for an abortion. Young, a devout Catholic, did not accede and the child, born on Nov 6, 1935  was passed off as adopted. But few in Hollywood were fooled as Judith bore a strong resemblance to Gable, and her true parentage was widely rumored in entertainment circles.
