Since there is some interest in the Ingrid Bergman affair, we might as well set the record straight. The child born during the 1950 scandal was a boy named Roberto. Isabella Rossellini wasn’t born until 1952.

I believe it was Isabella.

Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet = creepy.

I think the baby turned out to be Isabella Rossellini, from Blue Velvet. Remember that scene with Dennis Hopper?

Growing up in Akron, the Ellet was the neighborhood theatre for my mother and her siblings. She recalls seeing many films there, including “A Hard Day’s Night”, for which she and her friends waited in the line that snaked all the way around the block.

Ken, the tidbit about Ingrid Bergman is quite entertaining.

This is from the Newport (RI) Daily News dated 2/4/50, which incidentally was the day my parents were married. Ingrid Bergman was unpopular because she had left her husband and was having a baby with Italian film director Roberto Rossellini.

AKRON, Ohio, Feb. 4â€"The management of the Ellet Theatre in Akron decided to cancel Ingrid Bergman’s latest film, “Under Capricorn” because of possible public reaction to the birth of her baby.
