Famous Celebrities You Had No Idea Were Adopted

Ingrid Bergman

Ingrid Bergman is one of Hollywood's most famous classic film stars, but there was a tragedy in her past. She lost her mother only three days after her birth and was raised solely by her dad. Justus Bergman, her father, cared for his daughter until he too passed away when she was just a 12-year-old girl. From there, Ingrid traveled between her various aunts or uncle's homes until she made it as a big-time actress.
