Drawing on her many conversations with Ingrid Bergman and her family, author Charlotte Chandler presents a compellingly intimate biography of one of the most iconic and beloved classic Hollywood stars.
During a career spanning five decades, Ingrid Bergman was one of the most acclaimed and glamorous movie stars—until she became one of the most controversial. Now, her full story, from her climb to stardom to the international scandal that nearly destroyed her career and finally to her redemptive return to Hollywood, is explored as never before.

Based on extensive conversations with Bergman herself, her one-time husband, Roberto Rossellini, her children, and her many colleagues—such as Alfred Hitchcock, Cary Grant, Greta Garbo, and more—Ingrid reveals a complex and fascinating woman who lived life intensely.
