What can we say about Isabella Rossellini that hasn’t already been said? Actress, daughter of iconic parents, a woman of class, grace, and elegance, and a global ambassador for Lancôme. Her mother was Ingrid Bergman, her father Roberto Rossellini. Her career boasts collaborations with David Lynch (with whom she also had a romantic relationship), Robert Zemeckis, Luciano De Crescenzo, Saverio Costanzo, Denis Villeneuve, Alice Rohrwacher, and Laura Dern. Yet, at 72 years old, amidst Instagram posts showcasing her passion for insects and short films about the sexual lives of animals, she’s making headlines again for her nomination as Best Supporting Actress at the 2025 Oscars. What a legend!
Conclave, the film that earned her the Oscar nomination
In Conclave, a procedural drama directed by Edward Berger about cardinals and the deeply political process of electing a new pope, amidst the myriad issues of the Catholic Church and a shocking final twist, Isabella Rossellini plays a tough, silent, and enigmatic nun. Her character ultimately helps Cardinal Thomas Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) resolve his numerous moral dilemmas and make the right decision for the Church. This brief but intense performance not only won her the favor of the Academy but also captured the admiration of younger audiences. Now, she’s being rediscovered on social media, where fans are dedicating fan art to her and celebrating her most iconic moments, including her appearance on the Blumarine SS 1995 runway.
The many springs of Isabella Rossellini
It’s no surprise. Isabella approaches life, work, and social media with the same grace and smile, building an enviable career and carefully choosing her roles. Her Instagram captions are just the cherry on top. In a world where uncontrollable factors like beauty, adherence to Western standards, and age are considered values, Isabella Rossellini shows us that aging isn’t something to fear but can be sweet and enriching. Not to mention, she has chosen to do so without a partner, surrounded by animals on her farm, Mama Farm, in Brookhaven. Goals.
