On this day in 1915, legendary actress Ingrid Bergman was born. On this day in 1982, legendary actress Ingrid Bergman died. It was not the best result for a 67th birthday party. Bergman died from breast cancer.
She won lots of awards over her career and some folks consider her the best ever. The obvious pick for today would be "Casablanca," but a) it's too obvious and b) I think it's overrated. Instead, I'm going with one of her later films, "Murder on the Orient Express." Granted, she wasn't the lead, but she did win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for this film (the only award this film won out of 6 nominations). Double points for the Bogart connection where Bergman appears with her Casablanca co-star's last wife, Lauren Bacall.
That's Harsh, Man - It's the Christian Feast Day for the beheading of John the Baptist! How about a salami sandwich and a viewing of "Godspell"?
Now You're Just Being Silly - 1825: Portugal recognizes Brazil's independence. Terry Gilliam's film "Brazil" has absolutely nothing to do with that.
