Oct. 26, 1980: Roderick Mann interviews Ingrid Bergman on the release of her autobiography, “My Story.”

Mann writes: Yesterday's scandal is tomorrow's yawn, and young people today, let alone future historians, may well marvel that Ingrid Bergman's romance with Italian filmmaker Roberto Rossellini should have so shocked Hollywood that Joseph Breen of the Motion Picture Assn. of America felt prompted to advise her that stories of her romance 'may result in the American public becoming so thoroughly enraged that your pictures will be ignored and your box office value ruined.' "

Also on the jump, Sheila Benson’s review of “My Story.”

    Old Roddy sure had a way of getting the most from his interviews, didn’t he? That interview was so candid and personal without being “nosy”. Thanks again for remembering a great man.
