The 72-year-old brunette beauty also appeared in 1990’s Wild At Heart with Laura Dern and 1992’s Death Becomes Her with Meryl Streep.
And the cover girl has also had some very high profile romances.
Isabella was married to director Martin Scorsese, known for GoodFellas and Gangs Of New York, from 1979 to 1982.
From 1983 to 1986 she was married to Jonathan Wiedeman.
Isabella also has a daughter named Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann (born 1983). Seen in 2005 in Star Wars Episode III, Revenge Of The Sith in NYC

The star also dated director David Lynch (1986-1991) and was engaged to actor Gary Oldman (1994-1996).
Isabella’s parents are even more famous than she is.
Her mother is the late Hollywood icon Ingrid Bergman.
And her father is the late film director Roberto Rossellini (two of his greatest films are Stromboli and Paisan).
Ingrid was born in Sweden and conquered Hollywood with her great looks and on-screen charisma.
Her best-known film is the 1942 epic romance Casablanca, starring Humphrey Bogart and set during World War II. This film is considered one of the greatest films of all time.
But she also starred in the 1946 thriller Notorious with Cary Grant and the 1944 mystery film Gaslight with Charles Boyer.

In 2017, Roberto told Coveteur that he wanted to become a model.
“I thought modeling was something I might do someday, but I never thought it would turn into what I do now,” the star said.
‘It started with me being randomly scouted in New York City by a photographer, and she wanted me to model for L’Officiel Italia. It was funny because right after I finished shooting, my mom came up to me and said, “Well, you were just randomly scouted. Why don’t you just model?”
“I contacted Ford and was signed a week later. I started working in June. It’s fun, I really enjoy it.”
His mother Isabella thought modeling would be a good way for him to network and learn more about the fashion industry and photography.
Her most famous film is the 1942 epic romance Casablanca with Humphrey Bogart, set during World War II. It is considered one of the greatest films of all time. But she also appeared in the 1946 spy film Notorious with Cary Grant and the 1944 noir mystery Gaslight with Charles Boyer.
“I feel like I’m learning a little bit about everything: clothes, photography, how to be in front of and behind the camera,” he said.
As for coming from an acting dynasty, he doesn’t want to use Isabella and Ingrid’s names to get by: “Personally, I don’t want people to just see me as a celebrity kid. I understand that it’s cool and it’s a blessing — I love my mom for who she is and all that — but I feel like it has a lot to do with my own personality and what I do,” Roberto said.
“I’m trying to make a mark for myself. I’m just a regular guy who’s creative, an artist and now a model. It’s just another thing to throw on the plate.”
And he wants to use modeling as a platform so people can understand him better.
“More than just a famous kid, more than just Isabella Rossellini’s son,” he shared. “I want people to understand that I’m Roberto, and that I’m actually a cool person. It’s interesting that I’m labeled that way, but at the same time I’m stepping away from it as far as I can.”
