The combined roles of wife, mother, and worker call for a delicate balance, and it’s difficult to imagine how one would manage such a life. Most of us are rela tively unhampered by critical judgment as we juggle these roles — family and friends give us more than enough. Imagine yourself in this delicate position thirty years ago; only, the greater portion of the world has decided you're not exactly doing it right. This was Ingrid Bergman’s predicament, and her autobio graphy My Story relates her un usual experiences with this “modern” dilemma. My Story is written in two voices: Bergman's account from old diaries, letters, and more recent writings, and Alan Burgess, a friend and a writer. Burgess sets the stage and gives us background detail, and Bergman takes over and gives us the real performance. Their voices change back and forth often, and once one becomes accustomed to this singsong style the reading moves easily. Each voice is marked by its own typeface and contrasting tone. Set against Burgess' commentary, Berg man's words have a depth and candor which easily commun icate her strong character. For the most part, My Story is a straightforward biography, portraying the chronological development of her acting car eer in Sweden, her first mar riage, and her life in Hollywood as a rising film star. It follows Bergman when she leaves her family in Hollywood for Italian film director Roberto Rossellini, and gives a rich account of her new family life in Italy, her next marriage, and always, her con tinuing work in film and theatre. There is only one exception to this progression. The book begins midway through her life, at the pivotal juncture when she first sees Rossellini’s film and decides she must work with him. This decision to go to Italy unal terably changes her life. But, abruptly, we return to her early life in Sweden to learn how she reached this point. That her book begins at the point of her affair with Rossellini is a key to Bergman's perception of her own life. Her dedication to acting moves her life — though she must com promise for the people she loves, both family and friends. Throughout her work and Dollar Rent-A-Car Systems Weekend Special!

She follows an intuitive vision that is honest and integral to her nature. It is impossible not to admire her for this, despite the notoriety and pain it brings her. As anyone following a per sonal vision learns, no matter how we act, we are sure to find critics, even when we think we’re not on stage. Bergman's story is fascinating because she is on stage all the time. Her life story is rich. She tells a great deal about the making of her films and the people in volved, about her family and personal life in the United States and abroad, and about her reconciliation with the Amer ican public. What rings so true about her story is that Bergman’s life has been a full and satisfying life. And, that makes for equally sa tisfying reading.
