Trivia
Melinda Kinnaman was the voice of Ingrid Bergman in the English version.

Goofs
On two occasions in the film, letters purportedly written by Ingrid Bergman are read out in which the word "paparazzi" (to mean a probing reporter) is used. It is generally accepted that this word (taken from an Italian regional slang word meaning sparrows) was inspired by a character in Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita (1960), but the letters in question were written in the early to mid 1950s, prior to the film's release.

Just a very good documentary

There is not much to add if you know something about Ingrid Bergman before. She had a glamorous life in Hollywood but wanted some more, and met the director Rosselini from Italy and there was Love - and some movies.

After a decade in American films, she starred in Roberto Rossellini's Stromboli (1950), following the revelation that she was having an extramarital affair with the director. The affair and then marriage with Rossellini created a scandal in the US that forced her to remain in Europe for several years, when she made a successful Hollywood return in Anastasia (1956), for which she won her second Academy Award

There is so much to tell about her life so I recommend Wikipedia for a more complete story about her life.

During the time with Rosselini she was more or less banned from Hollywood.

Her first husband was Petter Lindström (1937–1950) Sweden

Roberto Rossellini (1950–1957) Italy

Lars Schmidt (1958–1975) Sweden

She died 29 August 1982 (aged 67) London, England Cause of death Breast cancer

She used to stay on a private island outside Fjällbacka on the Swedish west-coast, "Dannholmen" that I visited when I was a teen, but she was not at home, it's a very beautiful island/part of Sweden.

In the Swedish version there is Alicia Vikander that are the teller of this story, and she seems to be another well worthy Swedish actress export to Hollywood, but that is of course up to her.
