Isabella Rossellini and bug porn and philanthropy




Isabella Rossellini is an actress, author, filmmaker and philanthropist, and she started modeling at age 28, she was a Lancôme model for 14 years, and her daughter is now the face of Lancôme. On the Rachael Ray show today I saw Isabella speak about her short film series called Green Porn about how insects have sex. It is on Sundance and worth the watch!

I first saw Isobella Rossellini when I was like 12, in the movie Death Becomes Her. Great film, might order it today on Blockbuster( I have a couple gift cards I need to use). In Death Becomes Her, Isabella worked aside Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn ( I love Goldie's memoir by the way!)

Also did you know that Rossellini is the daughter of actress Ingrid Bergman ( the talented beauty in Casablanca) and the Italian director Roberto Rossellini.

She has a unique face, I could stare at it all day. And I love that she is more than a beauty: Rossellini is involved in conservation efforts and she is a board member of the Wildlife Conservation Network. Also she is the president and director of the Howard Gilman Foundation, a leading institution focused on the preservation of wildlife, arts, photography and dance.

She pulls off the short hair cut REALLY well!
