Sweet mother of pearl.

What an extraordinary beauty Bergman was. And I’m pretty sure it’s at least partly because she was so kind and true, through and through. Knew what mattered. Did what mattered, and screw what the world thought about it.

Maybe the best testimonial is that she seems to have raised some pretty terrific children. Not too many women as beautiful as Isabella Rossellini who don’t seem to take themselves too seriously.

I’m pretty happy with the mom I got, but if I had to pick another, Ingrid would be tough to beat. I mean, for the cheekbone genes alone.
