'A Normal Person'

Stoiry
Editor's note: In this last chapter
of a five - part interview, Ingrid
Bergman discusses her "third hus
band," Lars Schmidt, and their
lans to be married when she is
egilly free to do so.
By RALPH COOPER
Written for UPI
Ingrid Bergman has a cer
tain indefinable something
that enables her, with no ap
parent effort, to reach right
to the heart of an emotion and
the hearts of an audience at
the same time.
It is this something, this
quality, which made her the
star she is - and it was the
: T "X
r t , - v t

INGRID BERGMAN
Interested in People
same quality which led peo
ple to expect so much of her
in real life.
I asked Ingrid about this
quality, and how she ex
plained it.
"I live and act as a normal
person," she said. "I try to
live a normal life and take a
normal interest in what's
going on around me. I'm in
terested in people, how they
behave and why they behave
the way they do."
Ingrid said there was one
thing she found it hard to
take an interest in, politics,
"although I know I should."
Frightened of War
"I'm frightened of another
war . . . like everyone else,"
she shuddered. "Everyone is
frightened . . . nobody wants
one - yet these things happen.
And try as I may I cannot
get interested in politics. My
husbands all three of them
have always been telling
me, 'But Ingrid you must
know about politics you em
barrass people . . . read the
papers.'
"So I look at the papers
and it is all there - . but I
do not understand the words
. . . they don't mean anything
to me . . . and I always say
This I will do next year -when
I get a break . . . but
I never get a break ... or
next year comes . . . and I
never get around to it."
I reminded Ingrid that she
had just said "my husbands
all three of them."
"Did I say that?" she de
manded, and I said, "you did."
She threw back her head
and roared with laughter. Ten
minutes earlier Lars Schmidt
had withdrawn discretely
down the mountainside where
we were chatting, so that I
could be alone with Ingrid.
"When you go down - tell
him about it and watch his
face," she said. "Tell him 'she
keeps making an embarrass
ing mistake by talking about
her "third husband'' '-and ask
him what he's going to do
about it?"
Ingrid laughted again.
"That was a little premature
of me."
Then she looked thoughtful.
"But I've been surprised at
the reaction this time . . . and
very relieved. At first
thought, a trifle wearily per
haps, 'Here we go again.'
"But it has not been like
that at all. Wherever I go
people seem pleased . . . and
glad that I am happy."
I told Ingrid I hoped she
would find lasting happiness.
and she said, with a girlish
impish grin: "I have high
hopes!"
"That," I said, "is the way
rumors start. If you had been
overheard making that re
mark in any bar or night club
m London . . . Paris .
Rome '. . . the wires would be
buzzing around the world.
and by morning you would
be hard at it denying a secret
marriage. You really should
be more careful . . ."
Ingrid nodded. "I know.
know. I am always being told
about it. If you'd read that
Garbo said that you would
know it would not be true
because good old Garbo nev
er says anything. But .me
However silly it is, people
know I must have said it, be
cause I open my great big
mouth too much. And too
often. ,
Says She's Shy
"It's funny . . . because
don't find it easy to talk to
people and I am really a very
shy person. Because in Swed
en we are very polite people.
You never say that your
house, or your dress, or your
children are anything at all
If someone compliments you
on your dress you always say,
'But no . . . this is an old rag
... but your dress is wonderful!'
"When I went to America I
was almost shocked at the
way people said, 'Yes, I rath
er like it too. They were
proud of everything . . . their
wives, their families, their
jobs, their cars . . . that was
God's own country! It took
some getting used to!"
"Your career is re - estab
lished and happiness has re
turned with Lars, so the
sooner you marry and make
a settled life for yourself the
better," I said.
"We shall marry as soon as
we are able to," Ingrid re
plied. "And how long that
will be we do not know. We
are waiting for the verdict of
the Rome court, which is de
ciding whether there was a
marriage or not, and if there
was, whether it should be an
nulled. They are not too op-
1 $1
timistic- Over 2,000 applica
tions are heard in Rome for
marriage annulments each
year, and only 50 are granted.
We realize the fact that those
involved are very much in the
public eye might prove a
difficulty, and also the fact
that Roberto has already had
one marriage annulled.
Won't Affect Status
"A Mexican divorce?-that
would not be recognized in
Italy. And I want to be able
to go back to Italy whenever
I want. If my children were
to be in Italy, and I wanted to
visit them suddenly, I would
not be able to if divorced only
in Mexico."
The solution may yet have
to be a Swedish divorce, which
would give Ingrid Swedish na
tionality again, and be recog
nized inxItaly.
The facts are that Rossel
lini claimed their marriage
was not valid and Ingrid,
through her solicitors, agreed.
"This does not affect the
status of the children of the
marriage," Ingrid explained,
"because in Italijfn law, if a
father accepts the children' as
his own, then they are legiti
mate, whether there has been
a marriage or not."
Meanwhile, as they attempt
to sort out the marriage
tangle, Ingrid and Lars travel
regularly to their dream house
25 miles outside Paris, in the
village of Choisil, near the
Duke of Windsor's home.
"It was once a mews," said
Ingrid, "Lars found it and
bought it - readapting it for
about $80,000.
"It has 22 rooms, but we
have taken out the whole of
the interior and are re-build
mg it. We do not want so
many rooms, nor too many
servants. ' We want to live
comparatively simply, as we
would in Sweden . - .
"We want two large ground
floor rooms and a kitchen
where I can do my own cooking.
"The kitchen was in Mosaic;
I have changed that.
"We should find seclusion
there, because it is an eight
acre estate surrounded by a
ten foot wall, and Choisil is a
small village with a popula
tion of only 275.
"Soon it will be 280," said
Ingrid with a smile.
The Family Council

SUSPENDS POLICE Con
troversial Mayor Paul Egan
of Aurora, DL, suspended
the city's entire 68-man po
lice force, declared a state
of emergency, and asked
the governor for National
Guard troops after he was
defied by the police chief.
Egan's current clash with
the police force arose over
a televised bingo game, with
pay-offs at local grocery
stores.
Gerald F. - It's time Betty's
mother left us.
Betty F. - She's such a help
to us.
Gerald F. - My wife and I
have been married two years
and had our first baby a few
months ago. My mother-in-
law came to stay with us to
help my wife out with the
baby.
I thought this visit would
be for just a few weeks, but
my mother-in-law shows no
sign of returning to her own
home. She is a widow and has
her own apartment, in anoth
er community near her other
sons and daughters.
Lately she has been kind of
hinting' that we ought to get
a larger apartment, and I feel
sne would like to move in
with us. She isn't a bad sort
as mothers-in-law go, but I
would rather she didn't live
with us. I feel it's time my
wife started hinting that she
ought to return home. This
she refuses to do.
Betty F. - My mother has
been the most wonderful help
to both of us all these months.
I really can't tell her she
should go now that we are
ready to dispense with her
services.
I was quite sick when the
baby first came and I don't
know what I would have
done without her. Gerald re
fuses to realize how much
easier our life has been be
cause Mother is here. We are
able to go out just as much as
we did before the baby was
born. I hate to be as tied down
as I would have to be if Moth
er weren't here.
I don't know why Gerald is
so anxious to have Mother
leave. She is so nice to him
and doesn't get in our way.
She is the only one who
really knows how to quiet the
baby and keep him happy. I
dread her leaving.
The Council: Betty is evi
dently unaware that she has
turned her child over to her
mother. The mere fact that
she is not conscious of even
missing anything is indication
enough that her mother has
overstayed the visit.
Betty's mother apparently
has a desire to be of vital use
to someone in the same way
she was when she was young-

er and had her own family
dependent upon her. Betty,
all too easily, falls back in
the role of being a little girl
in her mother's home. She
has lost the normal woman's
desire to establish her own
domain.
The situation which now
exists in this household is
really worse than one in
which there is fighting and a
struggle for power between
mother and daughter. Betty
will never know the experi
ence of being a mother unless
she fights for it.
Gerald's intuition in this
case is a right one. Even if.
the circumstances were such
that Betty's mother were
forced to live with this couple,
it should be on a far different
basis. Betty should assume
the essential responsibility for
her child and her mother
would have to be eased over
to the side lines her proper
place in relation to this new
family.
It will undoubtedly be dif
ficult for Betty to get along
without her mother at first.
But as she rises to her re
sponsibilities she will find re
wards she now knows nothing
about, and she will regret the
time she spent on the out
skirts of motherhood.
