NORTH STAR (Continued from page 78) GLAMOUR 83 ask for it — and get it.” She likes what most Scandinavians do. She is crazy about coffee (she thinks New York has the best in the world and drinks it without sugar or cream ) ; for exercise she prefers walking and skiing. Every day there was snow on the ground while she was in New York she went out on the great open slopes of Central Park, to play with her daughter, Pia. She found time for some real skiing in Nevada with her husband and the Ernest Hemingways only a few months ago. On the subject of her daughter she is altogether and genuinely doting. She never missed a morning’s work while doing Columbia’s “Adam Had Four Sons” — it meant getting on the set at 5:00 a.m. — hut once she drove everybody crazy when she didn’t show up all day for a fitting. She arrived eventually. She had been scouring town for a particular kind of orange squeezer for Pia. Strangely enough she is emphatic in saying that her daughter will not go into the movies for a career. Asked why, she insists it’s too hard a pull. Not, she quickly adds, because she believes her own career is a shining example of conquering in¬ superable obstacles. “When Ai thank of the hundrets and thousants of actresses who try so hart and never have a chance even to show what they can do,” she says quietly and earnestly, “Ai thank in my own case Ai wass too lucky for one person.” Suppose Pia insists on acting as a career? “Well,” says Ingrid with the firm but mistaken conviction of all mothers, “Ai woot talk sense to her.” Someone should talk sense to her producers. Although under contract to Selznick, she hasn’t made a picture for him since “Intermezzo.” She was loaned to Columbia and then to M-G-M to play the troubled young wife of Robert Montgom¬ ery in “Rage in Heaven.” Currently, she is working for the same company opposite Spencer Tracy in “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” In all these films, her roles permit her to use only one portion of her dramatic register: the bewildered, shy, mutely-suf¬ fering woman. But she has power, too, and she hopes desperately she’ll be able to do Hemingway’s Maria, in order to demon¬ strate the fact. The role Selznick himself has been plotting to cast her in for two years is Joan of Arc — her favorite historical character. If she ever has a chance at it, five will get you ten there will be an Academy Award winner named Bergman that year.
