When Bergman, a top box office star, left Hollywood in 1949 to make a movie with director Roberto Rossellini in Italy, little did she know it would be many years before she could return to America. Because she was a married woman and a mother, shock waves circled the globe at news of Bergman’s subsequent affair with -- and pregnancy by – Rossellini. She was even denounced on the floor of the U.S. Senate.

After reading Ingrid Bergman: A Personal Biography by Charlotte Chandler, I realized what a fascinating life this Oscar-winning actress led. Next Tuesday, April 8, my producer Nikki Starr and I will discuss Bergman’s life and movies on “Movie Addict Headquarters.”

The show airs live on BlogTalkRadio at 4 p.m. Eastern Time, and an archived segment will be available afterwards.

Listeners may participate in a live chat during the show. Also, if they wish to call the show with questions or comments, the call-in number is 646-478-5668. A free copy of Ingrid Bergman: A Personal Biography will be given out to one lucky caller during the show.
