After several films that year that established her as a class actress, Ingrid appeared in Intermezzo (1936) as Anita Hoffman. The film in question was The Count of the Old Town (1935), where she had a speaking part as Elsa Edlund. When she did, it was more than just a bit part. It would be three more years before she would have another chance at a film. The next year she enrolled at the Royal Dramatic Theatre School in Stockholm but decided that stage acting was not for her.
She had had a taste of acting at age 17 when she played an uncredited role of a girl standing in line in the Swedish film Landskamp (1932) in 1932 - not much of a beginning for a girl who would be known as "Sweden's illustrious gift to Hollywood." Her parents died when she was just a girl and the uncle she lived with didn't want to stand in the way of Ingrid's dream. The woman who would be one of the top stars in Hollywood in the 1940s had decided to become an actress after finishing her formal schooling. Her mother died when she was only two and her father died when she was 12. Ingrid Bergman was born on Augin Stockholm, Sweden, to a German mother, Frieda Henrietta (Adler), and a Swedish father, Justus Samuel Bergman, an artist and photographer. Bergman is also one of the most Oscar-awarded actresses, tied with Meryl Streep and Frances McDormand, all three of them second only to Katharine Hepburn. Her natural and unpretentious beauty and her immense acting talent made her one of the most celebrated figures in the history of American cinema. Ingrid Bergman was one of the greatest actresses from Hollywood's lamented Golden Era.
