- Her greatest regret during her illustrious career was turning down the opportunity to appear in PLANET OF THE APES. (April 27, 2004)
- In addition to making quite a number of memorable movies, Bergman has the distinction of having inadvertently been one of the first Hollywood performers to help break down the studio contract system.
- Though Bergman was married to Dr. Peter Lindstrom and had a child be him, she fell in love with Rossellini, and had a baby by him. She became a pariah in America virtually overnight. She was even denounced on the floor of the U.S. Senate, where she was called Hollywood's apostle of degradation.
- Played Mrs. Frankweiler in FROM THE MIXED UP FILES OF MRS. BASIL E. FRANKWEILER (1973).
- A WOMAN CALLED GOLDA (1982) (TV) was her last film.
- The wheat scene in LOVE AND DEATH (1975) with towards the end of the film is a direct visual parody of her classic Persona (1966).
- The studio of DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE (1941) had originally cast her in the Beatrix Emery role and Lana Turner in the Ivy Peterson role. Bergman felt the role of Ivy was more challening and persuaded the producers to switch roles with Turner.
- She only agreed to do EN ENDA NATT (1939) under the condition that Svensk Filmindustri let her play Anna Holm, the girl with the damaged face in EN KVINNAS ANSIKTE (1938).
- During the making of CASABLANCA (1942) Humphrey Bogart's wife Mayo Methot continually accused him of having an affair with Bergman, often confronting him in his dressing room before a shot. Bogart would come onto the set in a rage.
- For a role in CASABLANCA (1942) 'Michele Morgan' asked for $55,000, but Wallis refused to pay it when he could get Bergman for $25,000. Bergman was available only because she had been rejected for FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS (1943).
