Isabella is beautiful, intelligent, and interesting. Plus no ego and no nonsense. Always a pleasure to listen to her. I am looking forward to watching her newest movie. No matter how "small" her role is, she always elevates the film or show with her presence.
I saw her on 57 street and 5th avenue one summer day, just walking casually and instantly recognized her; and I said “Hello Ms. Rossellini.” But not too loudly-and she nodded at me and smiled-we were walking in opposite directions-she looked as beautiful in person as in film.
Spain and France and Catholic by culture but are secular countries. Catholic by culture doesn't necessarily mean religious. In fact Ireland has become a very secular country.
Naturally intelligent, beautiful and talented. Isabella Rossellini has always been someone to admire to me. Her father’s (Roberto Rossellini) films made with her mother (Ingrid Bergman) are fascinating and unique. Especially “Stromboli”. Ingrid has a twin sister and a brother born to her parents. She has lead a fascinating and fruitful life. I look forward to seeing “Conclave”. Che bellísima Isabella!
No female alive had has a better life. So beyond beautiful in youth. Still beautiful at 71. No one has better stories and life experience than this girl
During COVID my 14 yo son and I were stuck at home for nearly 2 years, so I took that time to introduce him to great music and great movies that he otherwise may have not known. We also watched so many historic dramas so he would acquire a curiosity about history. I think this enriched his life culturally. Now he is at the University majoring in Music and Film. It was time well spent and I am grateful we had it.
She was Lancome for me as a young woman. I adore her work in film. LIstening to her be interviewed is a real treat. Classic films are my preferred escape. Those great movies have been shared with my son. My granddaughters are soon to learn about them as well.
From Isabella's descriptions I get to relive my college year in Italy based in Rome. Within a short period of time the city (including the Vatican) becomes a highly walkable backyard where one can experience the grandeur of many spectacular landmarks... a vast cultural universe just waiting to be discovered. In my 10 month residency I saw much, but certainly not all of it. Rome, by the way, has over 900 Catholic churches.
One of my favorite movies ever is "Cousins" from 1989. She is an absolute marvel in every moment of this romantic comedy/drama. I can't adequately express how phenomenal her performance is, but if you enjoy her work and haven't seen it, please do.
Love the closing statement about how to make small farming viable. This is such a necessary change that needs to happen. Big farming is causing too many problems.
I saw Conclave yesterday and was impressed. I believe that it could definitely be an Oscar contender. Isabella Rossellini's character was strong, but when she found her voice in the dining room, the audience was in awe.
I agree that Isabella is wise! She seems to have accepted the end of her original contract with Lancôme with much more equanimity than I did! I wore Lancôme exclusively at the time, and though I was younger than she, I really resented it and still boycott them to this day. I disagree that youth is the dream. Youth is often boring and blank. Being beautiful and interesting is the dream and Isabella has both in spades.
I recall seeing her in ads when she started appearing in so many magazines in the 1980s. Stunning, and then she moved on to several new careers. Amazing, versatile woman. I am looking forward to Conclave.
I was raised Catholic and brought up to think that the Vatican was a very closed city and no one was permitted entry. I know differently now listening to Isabella Rossellini. Sister Agnes had a marvellous role in the movie.
And yet Michelangelo's work in the Sistine Chapel plays a serious role in Conclave. Wonderful discussion regarding models as older women. Popular culture can change the narrative.
Isn’t she fantastic?!!! I have watched her career as I grew up, remembering her Lancôme modeling career, and her move into film. Of course I adore Ingrid Bergman, her mother and you can hear her in Isabella too😎
Love Isabella!! Thanks Tom!!! But she’s wrong about the legacy of film. Yes, the audience gets smaller but it never dies. I was born in 1958 and the movies I love are from the late 30’s and 40’s. I’m always discovering new gems!!!
New find for me, fantastic. I like the sincerity of the presenter, and of Course, I. Rossellini. I have encountered young people over the years who have never heard of people such as Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant did come up once, and some of the other greats. I was surprised at first, but now I´m not. What I do find troubling and disappointing is that many of those I talked to do not even care who they were, what the contributed, and then to top it off there´s little or no reverence or curiosity. I have encoutered one or two exceptions, but speaking generally this has been my experience.
her commercials for lancolm cosmetics were surreal as i appreciated her true beauty as beauty may fade some people are timeless such as isabella.beauty such as this is hard to find anymore and a lost art.
Rossellini in Conclave is spectacular. She doesn’t say very much but when she does an entire room of men who identify themselves and each other as powerful stop and listen. In the film Lithgow, a powerful American Cardinal clearly on his way to becoming pope is undone by one sentence from her. Her role is pivotal. Her power and influence palpable! She said it. The script is amazing. But I will say lines are just that even if they are Shakespeare … words on a page until a great actor speaks them.
I had the same observation. If he did his homework, he'd know that her parents were not exactly welcomed by the pope!! If you have read any of the books, and there are a lot of them, about Bergman, Roberto, etc. one would easily know this. Actually, he just could have Googled it, it's that well documented. Lazy! What a missed opportunity to ask better questions.
Hollywood did not hire her much because she has her own spot light that can make A list on the shadow. I remember her role on Odysseus. Everytime she appears a light around her we could see. Hollywood always were limited thinkers.
Yes, for an interviewer he doesn't express himself very well. He is expecting her to know what he means. She is very gracious. I have always loved what ever she does!
The film industry in time developed skill in all the art elements to create the messages desired, visually, verbally, and also many in nondirect form. The top level craftsmen succeeded here of course. I've only seen clips, and found the aesthetics to be "magical" to the senses. As an artist, seeing the film will be looked forward to. But, as a protestant Christian, I already have some reservations, particularly regarding propogandistic issues. All art is oropogandistic, if it is in fact, art.
She looks exactly like her mother! And is more beautiful today than 30 years ago!! Such character! Unlike all these self conscious Hollywood actresses. What stupid questions this interviewer is asking. Not very good👎
🎉Beautiful Extrodinary lntelligent Lady Isabella Rosselini like her Mother lngrid Bergman. Such Elegance and Class and a. Very Nice Person too. Jean Mooney
Does the interviewer realize that Ingrid Bergman was shunned because of her affair with Rossellini? They were not the kind of people that got invited to an audience with the Pope.
re the issue of movie stars and other artists fading over time. Yes they will, but far far into the future they will be rediscovered. just like the ancient images we see on cave walls now.
Gosh I was thinking the same. He’s not prepared to talk to a legend like Isabella or her movie. As soon as she said she grew up in Rome and he didn’t know, he lost me with any professionalism for what he does.
My partner, John Ansado pulled strings with the head of Lancôme and arranged the contract between Isabella and Lancôme. She never thanked him. He died from AIDs in the 90’s. The head of Lancôme was a dear friend and I recently spoke to her about that time. She became very rich from Lancôme, but rather graceless. Unlike Deneuve, who thanked John often for magazine covers he gave her.
I have always loved Isabella Rossellini, she is a remarkable woman. Thanks Tom!
I would second this sentiment for Isabella, along with her parents, both of whom were so, so talented...
Truly amazing.🎉
Ditto here! I just watched one of my favorite films with Isabella, "Cousins"! She was wonderful! She's still so lovely and beautiful!
Isabella is beautiful, intelligent, and interesting. Plus no ego and no nonsense. Always a pleasure to listen to her. I am looking forward to watching her newest movie. No matter how "small" her role is, she always elevates the film or show with her presence.
Isabella Rossellini is a class act through and through. Love her work as an actress.
The definition of class in any language!
Just like her mother!
I saw her on 57 street and 5th avenue one summer day, just walking casually and instantly recognized her; and I said “Hello Ms. Rossellini.” But not too loudly-and she nodded at me and smiled-we were walking in opposite directions-she looked as beautiful in person as in film.
She's real. ❤
My mother met her in an elevator and loved telling us how kind she was as my mother stood there starstruck 😂
Oh….I loved her phrase “ Catholic by culture”. It describes Irish too! Love Isabella, always have.I need to watch this film! Great interview Tom 😊
That is part of why there are so many marriages between Irish and Italian.
Spain and France and Catholic by culture but are secular countries. Catholic by culture doesn't necessarily mean religious. In fact Ireland has become a very secular country.
@@gloriathomas3245 …I believe “Catholic by culture” means NOT religious…..as does secular
I love this woman! Class, beauty and intelligence. Thank you!
I loved listening to her talk. She is very wise!! And very beautiful.
She sounds and resembles her mom so much!❤
She needs to be appreciated for her multiple talents...😊
Naturally intelligent, beautiful and talented. Isabella Rossellini has always been someone to admire to me. Her father’s (Roberto Rossellini) films made with her mother (Ingrid Bergman) are fascinating and unique. Especially “Stromboli”. Ingrid has a twin sister and a brother born to her parents. She has lead a fascinating and fruitful life. I look forward to seeing “Conclave”. Che bellísima Isabella!
"I think I gave myself a good life." Isabella Rossellini is an artist, and continues to inspire her audience to live.
She's always delightful, I love listening to her! Thanks for the interview!
No female alive had has a better life. So beyond beautiful in youth. Still beautiful at 71. No one has better stories and life experience than this girl

Eloquent and elegant is Isabella. Thank you, Tom.
I nearly gasped when I saw this upload. Thank you for this terrific interview ❤
My favorite nun was Sr Benedict, played by her mother, who should NEVER be forgotten!
Isabella is the reason alone to see this movie. It is rare she is in the film. But when she is in a film it is something to see.
Gracious and eloquent. What an incredible human.
Just as intelligent, interesting, funny, and elegant as she has always been!
Such a gracious, intelligent, sensitive soul.
I am always captivated, in so many ways, by Isabella Rossellini.
I love the way Tom wraps up the interview by saying I’m getting wisdom from you”
She was Lancome for me as a young woman. I adore her work in film. LIstening to her be interviewed is a real treat. Classic films are my preferred escape. Those great movies have been shared with my son. My granddaughters are soon to learn about them as well.
Brilliant interview of an extraordinary woman. Thank you 🙏❤️
🌹I love Isabella Rossellini 🌹Congratulations and Great job ☺👍✌♥✨🎬📽💯
Great film. And Ms R is a terrific actress and all around human.
Beautiful person inside and out ~ 🌟

Beautiful, talented woman, always admire, wish she win an Oscar, will be well deserved.
Have not seen the film yet. Supposedly her role is small. However that would not disqualify her from awards.
Tom comes across as a sweet and genuine Canadian guy!!
I absolutely love this woman. It's easy to see her beauty comes from within.
One of my favorite movies ever is "Cousins" from 1989. She is an absolute marvel in every moment of this romantic comedy/drama. I can't adequately express how phenomenal her performance is, but if you enjoy her work and haven't seen it, please do.
My favorite also! So heartwarming and funny!
I saw the movie this morning. Very good!
Thank you. So glad Isabella found her passion. Wonderful interview! ❤
beautiful Isabella ... God so enigmatic.... great interview
I love Isabella Rossellini’s animal films. So playful, whimsical, and wise.
I adore her! Still so gorgeous! Classy
Love the closing statement about how to make small farming viable. This is such a necessary change that needs to happen. Big farming is causing too many problems.
So much..your mother's daughter. Ingrid was amazing
She is delightfully inspiring and - - wise!
I saw Conclave yesterday and was impressed. I believe that it could definitely be an Oscar contender. Isabella Rossellini's character was strong, but when she found her voice in the dining room, the audience was in awe.
Great interview. Just saw "Conclave" and thought Isabella lent a fascinating presence to the film- brava, Ms. Rossellini!
I agree that Isabella is wise! She seems to have accepted the end of her original contract with Lancôme with much more equanimity than I did! I wore Lancôme exclusively at the time, and though I was younger than she, I really resented it and still boycott them to this day. I disagree that youth is the dream.

She is adorable. Every time.

wonderful. she makes me curios about living a fuller life
She looks and sounds so much like her mother. Both very beautiful ladies.
Isabella looks like a Gustav Klimt painting in this interview with her style, the patterns of her wardrobe, and background. Bella‼️ Bella‼️
Brilliant conversation, thank you. So grateful I stumbled across it!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Isabella Rossellini
She’s lovely. So much like her mother.
Delightful interview with Isabella
And yet Michelangelo's work in the Sistine Chapel plays a serious role in Conclave. Wonderful discussion regarding models as older women. Popular culture can change the narrative.
Reminds me of her Mother.... just my opinion 😊
Thank you. Ms.Rossellini is fascinating. So original.
Isn’t she fantastic?!!! I have watched her career as I grew up, remembering her Lancôme modeling career, and her move into film. Of course I adore Ingrid Bergman, her mother and you can hear her in Isabella too😎
Lovely interview. Lovely woman. Thank you.
Another masterpiece claimed by Italy
And a great talented Actress just Love her!! She is so warm and so lovely.
I lovw this woman! Beautiful inside and out.
When she speaks, it sounds like music!
Isabella I love you!
Every time I hear her voice, I picture her poking a finger and giving the life giving elixir. No one like her ever.
Wonderful person. And thankfully, so natural looking as she ages.
Love Isabella!! Thanks Tom!!! But she’s wrong about the legacy of film. Yes, the audience gets smaller but it never dies. I was born in 1958 and the movies I love are from the late 30’s and 40’s. I’m always discovering new gems!!!

her commercials for lancolm cosmetics were surreal as i appreciated her true beauty as beauty may fade some people are timeless such as isabella.beauty such as this is hard to find anymore and a lost art.
So to be clear, it was not the film industry that dropped her when she reached her forty’s , but the advertising industry ( Lancôme) that dropped her.
Rossellini in Conclave is spectacular. She doesn’t say very much but when she does an entire room of men who identify themselves and each other as powerful stop and listen. In the film Lithgow, a powerful American Cardinal clearly on his way to becoming pope is undone by one sentence from her. Her role is pivotal. Her power and influence palpable! She said it.

❤❤liefde voor iedereen
Love her! 👍
She looks and sounds so much like her famous mother, Ingrid Bergman.
Isabella sounds exactly like her mother.
very educated this woman
No. She referred the Vatican as a nieghhood and it is its own country. @ 3:25 Duh.
Excellent interviewer!
What a lovely and beautiful woman. Very sweet and wise…
Not a match for the interviewer…
I agree he was out of his element but she kindly worked with him, gracefully. A star!
I had the same observation. If he did his homework, he'd know that her parents were not exactly welcomed by the pope!! If you have read any of the books, and there are a lot of them, about Bergman, Roberto, etc. one would easily know this. Actually, he just could have Googled it, it's that well documented. Lazy! What a missed opportunity to ask better questions.
Some of the interviewer's questions -- especially regarding death and legacy -- are downright weird, as Isabella's face shows.
I don’t think Tom phrased his questions well regarding death and legacy. So Isabella found it difficult to answer him.
She had only a few scenes, but stole the show completely.
I speak three languages and accents get confusing. I have to be “on” or think in English to get it right lol
Hollywood did not hire her much because she has her own spot light that can make A list on the shadow. I remember her role on Odysseus. Everytime she appears a light around her we could see. Hollywood always were limited thinkers.
Her mother also had an accent, somehow their voices are so similar.
Everyone has an accent, you and I included. We often only become aware of our own accents when they are pointed out to us.
Although the accent is different, when she speaks she has exactly the same voice and intonations as her mother.
Did not really enjoy the host and his abrupt manner and at times, rude and self-centered line of questioning. Isabella Rossellini is a treasure.
Yes, for an interviewer he doesn't express himself very well. He is expecting her to know what he means. She is very gracious. I have always loved what ever she does!
Believe me, compared to what else CBC has to offer - Tom Power is one of the best.
I think the difference is that she has a European perspective of women, a whole life. America is still misogynistic, very superficial.
The film industry in time developed skill in all the art elements to create the messages desired, visually, verbally, and also many in nondirect form. The top level craftsmen succeeded here of course. I've only seen clips, and found the aesthetics to be "magical" to the senses. As an artist, seeing the film will be looked forward to. But, as a protestant Christian, I already have some reservations, particularly regarding propogandistic issues. All art is oropogandistic, if it is in fact, art.
She looks exactly like her mother! And is more beautiful today than 30 years ago!! Such character! Unlike all these self conscious Hollywood actresses. What stupid questions this interviewer is asking. Not very good👎
I just assumed she spoke Swedish as well.
❤❤❤

💕
Cary Grant does not have a grave,he was cremated and his ashes blown in the pacific ocean
What would happen if I wasnt sick all the time
He's clueless & shallow
Tom Power is too young to be interviewing women with life experience. I find him insulting.
Me too. He comes across uneducated, unprepared, and oafish.
Gosh I was thinking the same. He’s not prepared to talk to a legend like Isabella or her movie. As soon as she said she grew up in Rome and he didn’t know, he lost me with any professionalism for what he does.

That's sad to hear!
