Ingmar Bergman mini-bio: Ernst Ingmar Bergman was a Swedish writer and director. He began his career early with a puppet theatre with his sister and their friends, of which he was the manager. He began writing in 1941 with a play called 'Kaspers död' (aka 'Kaspers Death') which was produced the same year. It became his entrance into the movie business as Stina Bergman (not a relative), from the company SF (Swedish Filmindustry), had seen the play and thought that there must be some dramatic talent in young Ingmar. His first job was to save other, more famous, writers' poor scripts. While working on doctoring a script, he wrote a screenplay based on his own novel. When he went back to SF, he delivered two scripts instead of one. The script was Hets (1944) and was the fist Bergman screenplay that was put into film (by Alf Sjöberg), and his directorial debut. Because Alf Sjöberg was busy, Bergman was asked to shoot the last sequence of the film. Ingmar Bergman is the father of Daniel Bergman, director, and Mats Bergman, actor at the Swedish Royal Dramatic Theater. Ingmar Bergman was also CEO of the same theatre between 1963-66, where he hired almost every professional actor in Sweden. After moving to Germany due to tax trouble, he returned to Sweden and made his last movie Fanny och Alexander (1982) (aka 'Fanny and Alexander'). He continued to write for film and TV and direct plays at the Swedish Royal Dramatic Theatre until his death on July 30, 2007.
