| | *[[Ingrid Bergman]], Swedish actress who achieved U.S. fame in the 1940s with ''[[Casablanca]]'' (1942) and ''[[The Bells Of St. Mary's]]'' (1945). In 1950, Ingrid, who was married to fellow Swede, Peter Lindstrom, had an affair with director Roberto Rosellini while in Italy filming Rosellini's direction, ''[[Stromboli]]'' (1950) and stayed in Italy after becoming pregnant with his child. This caused Ingrid to be blacklisted from U.S. films for several years and denounced from pulpits as "an agent of evil" until her comeback in ''[[Anastasia]]'' (1956). Her marriage to Rosellini, like the one to Lindstrom, ended in divorce, as did her third and last marriage to Lars Schmidt. Bergman died August 29, 1982 in London on the night of her 67th birthday. | | *[[Ingrid Bergman]], Swedish actress who achieved U.S. fame in the 1940s with ''[[Casablanca]]'' (1942) and ''[[The Bells Of St. Mary's]]'' (1945).
