In memory of Ingrid Bergman ♥ (29 August 1915 – 29 August 1982)
“She always moved with wonderful grace and self control. She spoke her lines beautifully and her radiant beauty struck me the first time I saw her. She appreciated compliments, accepted them shyly but they never altered the three totally original characteristics of her work. Truth, naturalness and fantasy. I created Intermezzo for her, but I was not responsible for its success. Ingrid herself made it successful through her perfomance. The truth is, nobody discovered her. Nobody launched her. She discovered herself.”
– Gustaf Molander
“She has a combination of rare beauty, freshness, vitality and ability that is as uncommon as a century plant in bloom.”
– Wanda Hale
“You see that she’s kind of a pure soul, that she’s naive and good. But she always said the truth, and she had a kind of direct wisdom. And she was very funny. You know, I don’t think my mother cared so much that people thought she was courageous or not courageous, modern or not modern, independent or dependent. I think she would like to be remembered only as a good actress. And to know that through her work and that of my father, generation after generation will be encouraged to make films.”
– Isabella Rossellini
So I saw Casablanca on the big screen (for free :D) yesterday evening. Isabella fucking Rossellini was there too!!!!???? She introduced the film and was asked a few questions (ps: she used to have a Casablanca mug where she drank her cappuccino in the morning but it broke and she hasn’t been able to find a similar one yet). It was CROWDED. Like, I was there an hour and a half early and still couldn’t find a free seat so I had to sit on the floor (hence why I don’t have a better picture of Izzy, she’s the white blob you can see on stage next to the guy’s head btw)
ok so in two weeks they’re showing casablanca here and isabella fucking rossellini is going to be there and introduce the film??????????!!!!!!!!
“Here’s looking at you, kid" wasn’t drafted in the screenplay but was improvised by Humphrey Bogart in the Parisian scenes. It worked so well that it was used later on again in the film (used four times in total). He originally used the same line in Midnight (1934). It was voted the fifth most memorable line in cinema in AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movie Quotes by the American Film Institute.
“If that plane leaves the ground and you’re not with him, you’ll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.”
HAPPY 98TH BIRTHDAY AND RIP, INGRID BERGMAN
August 29 1915 – August 29 1982“I have always thought I will go on acting and acting and acting because I belong to these people of the theatre and the movies and the make-believe world we create… After all, they always need an old witch in some production or other, especially around Christmas time. So at the end of my life, I’ll be ready and there.”
