Searching for stamps to feature for the letter I, I was intrigued when I saw these two Bergmans. They share the same family name but are not related to each other. They shared professional work in the film industry though.
The stamp on the left is one of the two designs issued by PostNord in commemoration of the life of Ingmar Bergman. He is considered to be among the most accomplished and influential filmmakers of all time. The film, Persona, featured on this stamp is considered by Bergman himself as one of his most important works.
Thanks to Monica of Beyond the Lone Islands for sending me a postcard from Boras, Sweden with this stamp.
On the right is Ingrid Bergman, also famously known as Ilsa Lund, her character in the film classic, Casablanca. Ingrid is in the list of 100 Famous Actresses of Hollywood's Golden Era (1930 - 1959).

P.S. As I'm still locked out from my linky account and I'm yet to receive a response from the page administrator, I decided to step back and cancel the recommence of the Postcard for the Weekend linky. I deeply apologize for the false excitement over this.
Two great Is today. Interesting that they are not related, yet worked in the same industry.
ReplyDeleteIngrid Bergman was so photogenic, I like the photo lighting of that era. The number of films Ingmar Bergman made in his lifetime always amazes me.
