'tbon Loosing The Lady in Question ( Continued, jrom page 35) year I met motion picture stars — honeymooning, working in the studios and on location and holidaying. And always our talk would turn to Bergman. Was she as happy as she looked in her photographs? Did I think her love for Rossellini would endure? What did my old friend Anna Magnani, who previously played Trilby to Rossellini’s Svengali, have to say on the subject? “Magnani,” I told them, “has been extraordinarily magnanimous — for Magnani.” For when I had asked Anna how she felt about Ingrid, she had shrugged. “I have no anger for Madame Bergman,” she had said, “only the very greatest sympathy!” Currently, it must be reported, Ingrid appears to need sympathy from no one. She is still utterly, completely in love. Rossellini seems to be also. He never leaves her side. Recently, when they were in Paris together, a friend asked Ingrid, “Is it true you are expecting again?” “I expect to have many children. I want a large family by Roberto,” Ingrid answered with a smile. It is difficult, sometimes, to believe that the recklessly romantic Mrs. Roberto Rossellini, by virtue of a proxy marriage in Mexico, is the shy conservative creature we used to know. However, I remember so well, about four or five years ago in Hollywood when I visited a studio set on which Ingrid was working. My host, that day, a famous man star, must remain nameless. WHEN Ingrid left the set his eyes followed her, amused and admiring. “Quite a woman,” he said, “isn’t she?” Then, not waiting for an answer, he went on, “She’s going to find it out one day, too — and when she does, look for trouble.” “You don’t think she knows it yet?” He shook his head. “Elsa, you know as well as I do that no woman aware that she’s quite a woman sinks everything she has into a 'career!” He was very astute, this actor. But I doubt that even he guessed how completely Ingrid was to kick over the traces. She was looking for Rossellini, I’m convinced, long before she found him. Quite unconsciously, of course. In fact, when the long run of “Joan of Lorraine” kept her in New York, away from Doctor Peter Lindstrom, and so gave her a true perspective, she asked for a divorce. Lindstrom would not hear of it. Once she met Rossellini, however, her marriage was over; even though it was to be two years before the California courts or Lindstrom accepted this fact. In Sweden, you know, any gentleman from the South — an Italian, Frenchman, South American — is certain to be a great favorite with the ladies. The Latin grace and charm and gaiety are a happy contrast to the stolid personalities of Swedish men. And Roberto Rossellini is an especially attractive Italian. Many things have been said of him. And half of what has been said, at least, is downright damning. But no one denies his tremendous warmth and charm. He is quite able to hold a roomful of people fascinated. Add to this his knowledge of, his success in, and his interest for Ingrid’s own art medium and you will realize how all that happened was like a flood tide. Ingrid and Roberto are living now in their new home on the Mediterranean. This, as Roberto drives any one of their five cars, is only a few minutes from Rome, nineteen miles away. It is exceedingly well staffed, too, their house, for, SUPER.
