Vintage Icons: Ingrid Bergman

>> Saturday, January 8, 2011 – 


Igrid Bergman was an icon of the 1940's Golden Age in Hollywood. Potentially one of the most international actresses of all time, Bergman spoke all of five languages: German, English, French, Italian, and her native Swedish. Although her legacy lies in her role as Ilsa in Casablanca with Humphrey Bogart, the actress received her two Academy Awards for best actress from other films: Gaslight and Anastasia. Her sophistication lay in simple, memorable pieces such as her hat in Casablanca, gold bracelets, and neatly tailored skirt suits.

"Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point." - C.S. Lewis

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Somewhere I Have Never Travelled
(By E. E.
