“I don’t know if I made it clear at the time how much I thought of your performance in Gaslight.” George Cukor said. “I felt certain you would receive an Oscar nomination at least, and I believed you were going to take home Oscar, which you did.”“You were always encouraging, and I loved receiving my first Oscar,” Ingrid smiled, savoring the memory. “It was wonderful, and I owe it to you, and to Charles Boyer and Joe Cotten, and others.
