She went to the USA 1939 to appear in David Selznick's Intermezzo 1939 and later appeared in Casablanca 1942, For Whom the Bell Tolls 1943, and Gaslight 1944, for which she won an Academy Award. She projected a combination of radiance, refined beauty, and fortitude. By leaving her husband to have a child with director Roberto Rossellini, she broke an unofficial moral code of Hollywood star behaviour and was ostracized for many years. During her "exile", she made films in Europe such as Stromboli 1949 (directed by Rossellini). Returning to the USA, she made such films as Anastasia 1956, for which she won an Academy Award, and Murder on the Orient Express 1974, for which she won her third Academy Award.
