My Story
By Ingrid Bergman and Alan
Burgess
Delacorte Press, 484 pages,
$14.95
Many women today are facing
the choice of a career, a family,
or a mixture of the two. 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.

Ingrid
Bergman
by Ingrid lier&man
and Alan liurguss
loves she is blessedly unpre
tentious. 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.
