Ingrid Bergman

Ingrid Bergman

Wrote the New York Times of the "Casablanca" star in 1943: "She has brought into this capital of artificiality the simplicity and charm of her native Sweden. Unpainted fingernails, skin that doesn't look like icing on a cake, a natural manner, unpretentious clothes -- these usual things make her unusual among Hollywood stars."
