Ingrid: Ingrid Bergman: A Personal Biography (Applause Books) - Softcover

"Ingrid Bergman. What images just the name evokes! But behind the icon on the screen and the scandal in the headlines was a real, flesh-and-blood woman all of us would have liked to know. Meet her now in Charlotte Chandler's "Ingrid," a biography more exciting and dramatic than most novels."-- Sidney Sheldon "Reading "Ingrid," I found myself crying tears of sadness and joy. On the pages of this book, Charlotte Chandler portrays my parents as the beautiful people they were and still are."-- Isabella Rossellini "I live next door to Ingrid Bergman's old Benedict Canyon house. I've never seen her ghost, but she beautifully haunts Charlotte Chandler's "Ingrid." On every page, Ingrid says 'Boo!'"-- Arthur Hiller "I can never forget Roberto YRossellini or the grace of Ingrid Bergman. Evviva Ingrid, this new book of Charlotte Chandler, for bringing their spirit back to life."-- Michelangelo Antonioni "Once again Charlotte Chandler opens the door to the personal life of an iconic movie star. I was bewitched by Chandler's book, almost as much as I was by Bergman herself."-- David Brown "Ingrid Bergman remains one of cinema's greatest stars. Charlotte Chandler's 'personal biography' offers us a window into the remarkable life of a remarkable woman."-- John Landis
