Last Friday, I got free tickets to see a speaking event of
Isabella Rossellini. It is her father's,
Roberto Rossellini, 100 birthday this year and in his honor, she has written a book "
In the name of the Father, the Daughter, and the Holy Spirits" and made a short film about him. So, she spoke quite a bit about her father and his film style. She is a very witting, entertaining speaker who doesn't seem to take herself too seriously, and is probably humbled by the reputation of her parents. She rejects any undo, polite praise which makes her more human than celebrity. I must say it was quite an entertaining evening despite the fact she appeared to have a few stalkers in the audience who caused awkward moments during the audience Q&A session to the point where the interviewer had to under his breath ask for the mic's to be taken away from the questioneer. One almost hoped she had some security afterwards.
