Bergman
Selznick described a few of his early impressions of Bergman while Intermezzo was being filmed:
“Miss Bergman is the most completely conscientious actress with whom I have ever worked, in that she thinks of absolutely nothing but her work before and during the time she is doing a picture … She practically never leaves the studio, and even suggested that her dressing room be equipped so that she could live here during the picture. She never for a minute suggests quitting at six o’clock or anything of the kind… Because of having four stars acting in Gone With the Wind, our star dressing-room suites were all occupied and we had to assign her a smaller suite. She went into ecstasies over it and said she had never had such a suite in her life… All of this is completely unaffected and completely unique and I should think would make a grand angle of approach to her publicity… so that her natural sweetness and consideration and conscientiousness become something of a legend… and is completely in keeping with the fresh and pure personality and appearance which caused me to sign her…”
