The height of eternal beauty, Isabella Rossellini's star-studded background couldn't keep her out of the public eye. It was just a matter of time before Isabella made her name in show business with parents who had won Academy Awards and a stunning likeness to her mother, Ingrid Bergman. Although Lancôme signed her for an amazing 14-year contract because of her gorgeous features, Isabella's talents went much beyond what would be expected of a model. She has made a smooth transition into acting, starring in classic movies like Blue Velvet that highlighted her depth and variety. More lately, she has worked on artistic endeavours including her one-woman play Darwin's Smile, which examines our relationship to the natural world and animal emotions. Age is only a number, Isabella shows by always redefining herself and following her ambitions. Notwithstanding job challenges, her tenacity and love have driven her to boldly pursue her aspirations, so motivating many people to welcome their own paths in the arts and other fields.
