Ingrid Bergman is often regarded as the greatest film actress of the 20th century. In celebration of her 100th birthday on August 29, 2015, her four children—Pia Lindström, Isabella, Ingrid, and Roberto Rossellini—have granted Schirmer/Mosel access to their family archive to create her essential pictorial biography.
