Pia Lindström : biography

20 September 1938 –

Friedel Pia Lindström (born 20 September 1938, Stockholm, Sweden) is the first child of actress Ingrid Bergman and Dr. Petter Aron Lindström, a neurosurgeon.

Greatly affected by her mother’s abandonment, when her mother left her father for Italian director Roberto Rossellini, she did not reunite with her mother until 1957. Pia’s father sued for desertion and waged a custody battle for Pia Lindström. Her half-brother, Roberto Ingmar Rossellini, was born on 7 February 1950, and her mother married Roberto Rossellini on 24 May 1950. On 18 June 1952 Pia’s twin half-sisters Isabella Rossellini and Isotta Rossellini were born.

Pia Lindström began her broadcasting career as a reporter at KGO-TV in San Francisco in 1966 , and in 1971 went to WCBS-TV in New York City.

From 1973 to 1997, she was a news anchorwoman and also a Theater & Arts critic for WNBC-TV Channel 4 News (in NYC), and made television appearances and did some acting (in mostly Italian films) before she became a news correspondent. She received two Emmy Awards for news coverage and on-screen performance, as well as the Associated Press Broadcaster’s Award. She is now retired.
