2. WORK IN PAIRS. Scan the following article and find: 1. the qualities necessary for an actress to succeed 2. the films for which Ingrid Bergman won Oscars As a child, Ingrid Bergman's prayer was "Don't let my life be dull". It wasn't. Even as a young girl her one ambition was to be an actress. Early orphaned by the death of her mother when she was three and of her father (the most important influence on her) ten years later, Ingrid was cared for by an uncle, who at first opposed her desire to go on the stage because he thought it would bring her disappointment and unhappiness . Nevertheless, seeing her earnestness and determination, he permitted her to audition for the ROYAL DRAMATIC SCHOOL in Stockholm. She was accepted, and after only a year of study began to appear in Swedish films, very soon winning critical acclaim for her performances . Following this early success in Sweden, she went to Hollywood at the age of twenty-three, and almost overnight became a star. Her fresh, natural appearance - she refused to use makeup - conflicted with the artificial style then popular. But it was this very difference, together with her considerable natural talent, strength of character, and developed acting skills, which made her the top movie actress in the United States and other countries for many years. Ingrid Bergman is probably best remembered for such pictures as CASABLANCA, FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS, SPELLBOUND, NOTORIOUS, GASLIGHT and ANASTASIA (winning "Oscars" - the Motion Picture Academy's highest award - for the last two). However, she also made movies in Italy, and appeared in several stage plays in the United States, London and Paris. The parts she played in her mature years revealed facets that her earlier roles only hinted at. In CACTUS FLOWER she demonstrated an aptitude for comedy; in MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS her remarkable work in a small supporting role won her an award for best supporting actress. Her portrayal of the title role in the television drama A WOMAN CALLED GOLDA seemed a fitting climax to her career. It required her to call on reserves of courage and strength as well as talent qualities that found inspired expression in her characterization. (from Reader's Digest) and about Ingrid Bergman ​
