ALS signed “Ingrid,” one onionskin page, 8.25 x 10.5, La Grange Aux Moines letterhead, October 11, 1962. Bergman writes director George Cukor. In part: “How nice of you to send me the clipping about Ibsen. Of course I know where Lovborg shot himself, as it is clearly state in all Scandinavian versions. I fought hard to have it clear in our TV show, but unfortunately the English language has no ‘polite,’ factual word for this part of the body, no word that doesn’t make the public smile, if not burst out in histerics [sic]!! We have a word that you can say as unshockingly, as if you would say ‘he shot himself in the kidney.’ Even in French we are ‘stuck in stomach’! But of course the French are very quick and might get the idea even quicker than Ibsen!!” She has written the last two sentences of her letter vertically along the left side of the page before signing. In fine condition, with light wrinkling and a couple of creases. Handwritten letters from Bergman are uncommon, particularly with such dynamic content regarding playwright Henrik Ibsen’s ‘Hedda Gabler’.
