Ingrid Berman’s Scandalous Affair Didn’t Affect Her Career
Bergman was one of the most talented actresses of her generation, landing roles in classics like Casablanca and Murder on the Orient Express. Audiences were shocked when Bergman’s dirty laundry was aired to the public; Bergman and director Roberto Rossellini had begun an affair together, despite both having spouses at the time.
They ended up divorcing their current partners after Bergman became pregnant with Rossellini’s child. The couple had three children together before divorcing in the 1950s. Even though the scandal could have destroyed her career, it endured, and she went on to win another Academy Award later in her career.
