Bergman by Parks

Ingrid Bergman by Gordon Parks

Casablanca is being celebrated this year with a whole host of product and showings of a restored print. Casablanca is truly one of the great movies of all time. Principle actress Ingrid Bergman is perfect in the lead. Bergman was not a glamour-puss but an ethereal beauty; one of the most purely beautiful movie stars ever. Gordon Park's portraits of her capture that beauty, more so than the numerous studio shots of her.His pictures from 1949; taken when she was filming Stromboli perfectly capture her natural appeal.His pictures of her over the years also told a story of a beauty undiminished by age
