The story went through the school quickly and soon Ingrid's uncle heard about the incident. He wasn't pleased, but he gave permission to Ingrid to enter the Royal Dramatic Theatre School.

While there, she met a young medical student who encouraged her and gave her faith in herself. She turned to him for advice when one of the Swedish film companies offered her a contract before she had finished her studies. He suggested she work in films during the day and continue her studies at night.

This worked out so well that Peter Lindstrom continued to advise her. Soon they talked of marriage. When he became Dr. Peter Lindstrom, they were married. The wedding took place in 1937.

Offers began to come from foreign countries. One of the most persistent was from David O. Selznick in Hollywood. However, the actress decided to accept an offer from UFA in Berlin because it was closer to her home in Sweden. After the birth of her daughter, Pia, she went to Berlin for the picture. She found acting before cameras an exciting experience. So when David O. Selznick sent an emissary to Stockholm to persuade Miss Bergman to come to Hollywood, the actress was more receptive.

After her success in "Intermezzo." She made plans for her husband and daughter to join her in this country. As a Swedish doctor, Dr. Lindstrom would have to study in an American medical school. He selected the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York. They rented a typical two-story American house and Mrs. Lindstrom went about her house-wifely tasks. She went away only when she had to work in a picture. Today, Dr. Lindstrom is practicing in Los Angeles.

Now at the peak of her career, as Joan Madou in Enterprise's film version of Erich Marls Remarque's "Arch of Triumph," and the toast of Broadway as Joan of Arc in "Joan of Lorraine." Ingrid Bergman still has her feet firmly on the ground. She threw herself wholeheartedly into her role in "Arch of Triumph." For it, she had her hair cut short with bangs. Never a smoker, she became a chain smoker for the picture.

Unlike Joan Madou, however, Ingrid Bergman is a woman who knows what she wants. She refuses to use make-up unless she must appear ill or unnaturally pale in a picture. No hairdresser has been able to give her a glamour coiffure.

Today, Miss Bergman is thoroughly American. She can jitterbug, she enjoys quantities of ice-cream and hamburgers, she chews gum on occasion, and she enjoys jive talk.
