Bergman was born on August 29, 1915, in Stockholm, Sweden. When she was three years old, her mother died. Her father passed away when she was thirteen. She was then sent off to live with an aunt, who died of heart complications only six months later. Afterwards she was raised by another aunt and uncle, who had five children. At the age of 17, Ingrid Bergman auditioned for and was accepted to the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm.

Her first film role after leaving the Royal Dramatic Theater was a small part in 1935's Munkbrogreven (She had previously been an extra in the 1932 film Landskamp). On July 10, 1937, at the age of 21, she married a dentist, Petter Lindström (who would later become a doctor). On September 20, 1938, she gave birth to a daughter, Pia Lindström. After a dozen films in Sweden (including En kvinnas ansikte which would later be remade as A Woman's Face with Joan Crawford) and one in Germany, Bergman was signed by Hollywood producer David O. Selznick to star in the 1939 English language remake of her 1936 Swedish language film, Intermezzo.

Bergman died in 1982 on her 67th birthday in London, England, following a long battle with breast cancer.

    She's amazing in Casablanca which is odd considering she didn't think much of the film at first.

    Okay, she's superb! Yet i don't think much of Casablanca - why? I don't know = i must watch it again...

    She's unnervingly good in 'Gaslight' and 'The Yellow Rolls Royce' is rather good too, however she is only in the end story...
